I recall some mention of a particular Sears socket that will work to press out the differential bushing but I can't seem to find it when searching. I bought the Harbour Freight kit (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=38335) that several people have mentioned thinking that it had a press of the right size, but it only has receiver tubes and a C clamp.

Anybody know the correct sized socket? (Though, given that these one-off large Sears sockets are $30 or so, a tool kit with a set of presses may be a better alternative.)

TIA

 

I bought the HF 12-ton shop press. I couln't find a socket big enough. I pressed out the edge of the bushing(metal ring) it came out with some effort. Where are you on the Bay Area? I live in SF.

 

I bought mine at Sear's

 

Cool - thanks. I remembered seeing that post but searched for the word 'Sears' and not 'Craftsman' and could not find it.
