Taylor, this was legit. I just spent $6 at the hardware store, and used a socket and tools from the house. After about a week of trying to source proper tools to rent at the parts store. The second method took me like 10 minutes to remove both sides. Thanks.
Spent $100 on tools with no success and used your two methods and succeeded in a few minutes. Thanks!!!!!
Thanks Taylor For This Top Tip , For Those Who Have Been Caught Short . Or can Not Afford Exspensive Tools .
this was helpful thanks.
I was able to get a bushing out of my rear lower arm without even removing the control arm
I like that second idea definitely inventive I've always used a bench vice and sockets then added heat as necessary
Thanks mate Got a bunch of bushings to remove, highly appreciate your video! Gonna help me tackle the job
Thats awesome definitely going to have to give the bolt method a try one day
Clever. I'm gonna use the bolt method for my bushings on the jeep. Thanks, keep up the vids
I'm also here researching bushing replacement on my Jeep XJ. Lol. Hope it went well for you.
Thanks for the ideas. I'm almost at this point with my old Trans Am; I have the bushings but dealing with new wheel seals and brake plates now. I was going to bring the control arms to a shop to use a press, but I have everything needed to do it myself. Keep up the videos !! Stay safe.
Nice tips young guy :-) I will try the second method removing the bushing from my C3 corvette; whish me good luck
Thanks for posting. I'm helping a guy who has only marginally less mechanical skills than I do, matched only by the lack of bucks in his pocket.
We now have a decent idea of what we are getting into.
It seems straight forward enough but wish us luck.
I think you guys will get it done just fine. Good luck!
That was a great and useful way of doing things much easier, great video thanks!!
mate so simple you made it, i was stressing how i fix bush of mine car, great, make a video on wheel bearing replace as well
great video thanks a lot from DOWNUNDER you do not always need to buy expensive tools also
Thanks a lot for the tip. Awesome solution. Best of luck
Very slick! Definitely thinking outside the box. Thanks.
Nice I need my bushings to my vehicle. Was dreading buying the whole control arm for 150 bux each but now I'm just spending 70 bux for both. Thanx guys.
Peace and Love
Thank you kindly for displaying your expertise and skill. This is a much needed skill/method for a diy'er like myself.
Stay dirty and efficient...
Excellent vid - thanks!
keep up the good job .great videos.
Great tip Pal, love the positivity
Great tips, cheers team, will be using it on the front swing arm on my Citroen this afternoon. Taylor is hot too, always helps with a great video... :-)
Both are easy methods. Thank you for your video.
Another tip for you: Always set the moving part of the "press" against the side of the part you want to move. In the first example you had the clamp "reversed". I can't explain the physics but it does make a difference as the force is directly applied to the direction of movement.
Cool Video dear, I learned those two methods and I will do them with my car at home, thank you, happy future.
NICE JOB!!! YOU'VE SHOWN ALOT OF PEOPLE A VERY EASY AND INEXPENSIVE WAY TOO GET AROUND THAT ISSUE. MY HATS OFF TOO YOU. I'VE SEEN ALOT OF INDIVIDUALS ON CZcams WHO HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE SHOWING PEOPLE. A FEW CAN'T EVEN READ THE DIRECTIONS ON HOW TOO USE TOOLS THEY BUY. AND THEN THEY SAY THE TOOL IS JUNK AND THROW THE TOOL AWAY. SO TOO YOU I SAY KEEP IT UP....
Stop yelling.
What I got from this is that with a long bolt, 2 washers, 2 sockets, and a nut I've got the ultimate bushing tool.
Indeed bro 😏👍
thanks for sharing your talent. now I know how to replace my arm bushing of my triton.
Great video! I noticed your shirt. I grew up in Escondido and knew Ed Grangetto!
Thanks your video is 100% helpful trumps up
Thumbs up for the Monkey D Luffy poster in back ground...as well as the great tips.
This is really educational for me thank you very much.
Thanks guys. I appreciate you
You are smart man thanks from Iraq
thank you so much about the tip on inserting a bolt so the control arm does not flex
No problem. Just wear safety glasses in case it flies out.
great video guys thx on this
Very helpful great video
Thank you. Great tips
excellent!
Awesome idea never thought of that thanks
Thanks for sharing. 💯
Thanks for the helpful tips.
yep been there done that. sure beats a large press in the garage. but there is a time and place you just need the muscle. Thanks
Nice One Piece poster!
Great video thaks for sharing all this stuff.
Glad you liked it.
Thanks for this awesome video. This will save me some cash. Sam, Zambia.
great vid.
Thank you
Cool, Thanks man!
Good idea, I will give it a try
Cool. I have a Volvo 850 turbo that needs new bushings. Cheaper than new parts. Thanks.
great job never seen that thanks
Great video bro
Good information. Thank you.
Thanks for the tips.
No problem. Happy to help.
My 64 Galaxie is a handful 😆 . Broke one of my lower control arms. Where the bigger bushing goes in. I used a press but it was bent a bit. Seemed to be straight but blew the steel out when trying to press in new. So i ordered a better press tool.
Dude if I had known that second trick 🤦🏼 welp, I’m subscribing.
I ♥ subaru. I bought a control arm that came with a ball joint and brand new bushings prepressed today. For $110. And had it all replaced in like an hour and a half.
You just saved me $75 on a bushing press. I take the wife out for dinner tonight with the extra coin in pocket. Thanks!
The one and only time I told my wife how much I saved repairing her car myself, $200 bucks was missing from my wallet the next day and my wife came home with a perm and some new shoes.
Now I just hire a mechanic to work on her car.
@@bartprice3439LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been married 30 years. Acquiesce...kinda...
Try this. "Hey, would you make me a sammich? Hand her $100 (small town) Then you can go shopping.".
LOOK BEFORE YOU SUGGEST NAILS.
NEVER SAY GET YOUR HAIR DONE.
I can eat, get the house to myself. I wash parts in the dish washer and dry brass in the oven. I hate washing parts and waiting for brass to dry. It's worth the $100.
*If you're married, ask her, some how ya both pay.
I know you're all princes. Me, I'm an azzhole and know it.
She earned that $100 many times over. And she watches Law An Order, 48 hours, Live P.D. Sleeping with both eyes closed is real sleeping.
Loaner tools at Advance Auto, Autozone or O’Reilly’s Auto Parts. It’s Free!
Harbor freight sells the entire press kit for 25.00
Thanks your sharing sir...
Very good job 👌 easily 👍👍
good video.... very clear.... teaching
Nice video
You’re the man.
Don't remember how I did my bushings on my 67 Pontiac because it was so long ago but that's a good idea I have a 72 SSL Camino I haven't done the bushings yet.
Wow Genius 🤔 thinking.Good Job
Saving $$$
Very Good idea
Nice one friend big ideas
Great video bro.
Thanks man.
Easier? I don't know about that, the first bushing almost came out by it self hahaha excellent tip mate thanks
Well done, kid! well thought!
Thanks Buddy, i use with C Clamp for this methode & piece a pipe (thickness +/- 4mm, diameter 3.5 inch) other side for pusher i use socket wrench 14mm, its work.....good option for u video.
I like keeping some random pieces of pipe around for stuff like this. It comes in handy.
Budget Build Garage, yes taylor i agree for that.
Fantastic, thanks
Nice trick! 👌
great work
awesome love it thanks
Thank for your info
You doing good job
Quality-content. You deserve more views and more subs.
great tip saves buying a press thanks
Took me like four days to do upper n lower bushings. Used the rental tools. They sucked. I need to get my hands on that bolt n spacer kit.
Well done.
U iz za best, thnx
what a briliant way to put in bushes. i did note that bolt to stop it from squashing . do you have the bolt in for putting them in also ?
Wow. It works.
good job.
When installing the bushing, it's important that you only apply force on the outer steel sleeve of the bushing; Pressing in on the inner sleeve of the bushing may result in it becoming torn from the rubber, thus destroying the bushing.
True, I wouldn't use a socket to drive the bushing through on installation. You need something flat that will cover the entire outer surface to spread the force. Using large washers on each side rather than the socket would work better and potentially cause less damage.
Use a 1 1/4" socket it only pushes on the metal lip not the center like a washer will
A little imagination when without the proper tools. Just my style. Good Job !
i like ur style
Thanks
Helpful
Verry idea good auto machanic
Spaztastic
I wish my c1500 front lca bushings responded like yours. I am looking for a torch and some dynamite at the moment...
Now let's see you do a lower control arm bushing from 40 year old MOPAR.
SIMPLIFY 🇺🇸 👍
Pretty good, a great option for do-it-yourselfers. Would suggest using a better bolt? Grade 8.
George Daws That is a good idea.
Grade 8 bolts when stress too much snap or shatter vs. Deform and twist. So theres a safety risk there...
Let me see
..... him oh ya!
There also 4x the cost and Capable of withstanding 1000x whatever tension pressure a humans arms are going to leverage...
Grade 8 would be a waist of time
wonderfull
I'm gonna try your second method on my 2003 Toyota Higlander.
Please come back and let us know how it works.
That was gangsta 😎
You can also use a wrench if you don’t have a chunk of metal
