yep, BTDT, man. i actually have become quite proficient with removing bushings with a sawzall, but this is a much cleaner (and safer) approach.

yep, it works! (did you see my pics i posted earlier?)

the only thing i 'added' was an aluminum spacer that was the correct size on the backside of the diff bushings - you could use a stack of 2-3 washers that are the correct diameter... because the tool i'm using did not come with spacers/plates for those bushing sizes.

those two items vas posted are great tools as well!

Nice work! I get anxious thinking about doing my own bushings and stranding myself in the garage, but maybe I'll do them myself next time around.

I'm excited to hear how your car feels once you get all these things installed and refreshed.

LOL, if i did not have another car to drive, i would be approaching this very differently! a busy family and work schedule (which is normal), has meant the car has been in the garage for, i think, 3 weeks now. i'm a little anxious to drive it... :)
