doing jimlab's 18 bushings myself (press question)

would this do the trick?

HERE

if i get an impact gun, and a press (that one?) i should be good right? i have basic other tools such as sockets and wrenches already. i've never done bushings so i don't wanna get stuck with the car in the air and realize i can't do something.

I used the exact press. You need to take the bushing to SEars and buy a bunch of sockets from 48-54 mm. You also have to be creative with how you pressed the old bushing out. You MUST mark every bushing otherwise you'll end up pulling some bushings back out. Don't ask me how I know.

That press should work. My stockers took about 4 tons to get moving, but much less once they were free.

Moderator in training it seems....

Keep up the vigilant work PVerdieck and I am sure you will get that Moderator position you have been longing for.

Good luck!

Shawn


Oh and sorry for my interruption sporff.
