    I am having difficulty getting the property tooling to press these bushings into my lower control arms. These are highly recommended in the TW forums so i purchased a set to install as mine have 100K on them now.

    I currently have a 12 ton shop press and a hand full of bearing puller cups, i have a tool that looks it will fit the smaller bushing but the larger is harder to find. Adding to the difficulty the material used for the bushing is rolled at the top (how do they except you to get a tool on this).

    Rough measurements with my calipers the ID of the outer metal sleeve is anywhere from 52.5 - 53.1mm, i was thinking about getting a 12 pt (52mm or 2 1/16 or 2 1/8) socket and seeing out that sizes up.

    Any recommendations please let me know.
