Useful tool for Upper control arm inner bushings

I wanted to contribute a little and minimize the guessing game when it comes to replacing the UCA inner bushings when all you have is a vice to work with. I lucked out and used the first thing I picked up at Autozone.

Rent a ball joint/U-joint press set, use the smallest adapter in there and it fits PERFECT. All you would have to do is use a saw to saw off the excess rubber on each side of the bushing. Hope this helps anyone searching on how to do this.

*Note: Pics are obviously after I pushed the old bushing out and pressed the new ones in. I just wanted to show how well it fits.
