ATTENTION: In the video I referred to the suspension part with the faulty bushing as the "Trailing Arm", that was incorrect. I was replacing the KNUCKLE BUSHING. Thanks for watching!
Where did you purchase those Grade 8 bolts, nuts and washers?
I was searching for something like this last week, had to press in a wheel hub sleeve
Yup..can used for upoer arm bushing s too..Honda civic ek 1996
Yeah, I was wondering.... that was some odd Vertical "trailing" arm.....but great content and explanation.
Academy Award Winning material. Seriously, good stuff !!! Thanks.
Rather than a long bolt, which as you pointed out, bottoms out, use threaded bar. Works a treat.
A fine thread rod is great too. Thanks for watching Dean! Be sure to look over my video playlists below for many other videos of interest to you, and most importantly take one minute to share a link to my channel with others on social networking sites.

@@electronicsNmore absolutely bud. Just my kind of channel. New subscriber here 👌 great work.
Thank you so much. I am stuck in a downward spiral toward a complete dead end, but this bushing compression tool may save the diy project. I was "simply" intending to change the rear wheel bearing in my GMC Terrain, until I snapped off two of the four bolts holding the WB to the knuckle. That led to a decision to remove the knuckle, and thus the need to remove two control arm bushings. You have given the weekend, wannabe thorough mechanic hope!
I been fixing vehicles for 10+ years. And that was a real slick idea. I love learning new ideas from all kinds of people.
Glad you enjoyed my video Phillip! Be sure to watch my "Automotive & Mechanical" video playlist and most importantly share my channel with others. Thanks
Out of at least 5 videos and 3 or 4 writeups on how to do this without specialty tools, your video is the one that made the most sense to me, lol. I mean, everyone else did/said something similar but what clicked for me was having that socket the right size to slide through the arm/into that fitting. Thanks so much man. I think the spiders in my garage now know how to curse :P
Glad you liked the video!
Great idea and presentation! that is a benchmark in clear instruction video. cheers.
Thanks Alexander! Be sure to share my channel with your friends, rate thumbs up, and check out my Automotive/Mechanical video playlist.
Ingenuity at its best!
I’ll return the favor by advising you getting some ratchet wrenches...
I can’t live without them since I used them for the first time.
You’ll love them!
I explained in the comment area several times why adjustable wrenches were used. :-) Thanks for watching!
Very well done. Great job without a lot of investment.
Thank you.
That is just beautiful. Smooth like butter. Thumbs up for the video

Excellent video. Thanks for the idea & tips. This turns out to be a much cheaper solution than buying an entire kit for $100+ dollars.
Yes, especially if you have sockets laying around, and both sizes of galvanized pipe(1 1/4" & 1 1/2").
Very impressive 🤙🏽 going to give it a try on our 05 honda crv knuckle bushing headed to the hardware store. God bless
thanks for taking the time to show us this great work around method
This is amazing! I made one for my mk3 supra. Works like a charm even on 30+ year old bushings
Great to hear Chase! Be sure to look over my extensive video playlists below for other videos of interest to you and most importantly share my channel with others. Thank you!

What size socket and pipe cap did you use on the supra?
Thank you so much for this. I have a 2001 Sonata and your method worked beautifully. Only thing I had to do differently was to use a 1-1/2" nipple and pipe cap. The 1-1/4 was just too close. Awesome hack, my man!

Same 1 1/2 worked great for me
Same here..
Very cool... About to replace the lower control arms on a Nissan Navara D22 ZD30 and looking for ways to remove the "inner rear c.a chassis bush" on the rail... This is a classic my man! I'm stuck in the Au bush trying to do this too :) never a dull day eh very clever!
Glad to help
I have to do the trailing arm bushings on my BMW and I’m not keen on buying a $189 set. I’ll go this route. Thank you for this video.
You're welcome Shane! Just look for the right size socket and use a fine thread bolt. Be sure to look over my extensive video playlists below for other great videos of interest to you, and most importantly share my channel with others.Thanks

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for putting this together. The only thing I would do differently is to put a thin film of high temp (red) grease on the outside of the new bushing to allow it to slide in a little easier. Good job!
Just ran across this. Gonna make one tomorrow. Awesome

Made one recently with PVC 2” for taking out bushings from knuckle in a Toyota Not used it yet waiting for bushings to be delivered. Used an old lawnmower blade in place of deck plates you used. Cut blade in center with cutoff tool. No metal outer on knuckle bushings. Just rubber.
PVC? Wow, way too weak for my car.
electronicsNmore
I just went to Home Depot and bought a galvanized nipple just in case PVC breaks or cracks.
electronicsNmore
PVC worked. First bolt stripped smooth and second bolt did the job. PVC unscathed
Isnt it the greatest feeinng in the world when it finaly comes out !!!
Great video! Clear and concise. Much appreciated!

I take lots of time do engineer this, i did bushing replacement on a Supra with threaded rods, iron stock, etc. from the hardware store and now have a multi-purpose press.
A press is VERY handy to have. :-)
even in well kited out garages we end up doing this as so many different sizes of bush and sometimes no way of getting the part to sit correctly in the press. Nice demo. there will be a kit available that is essentially the same as what you made but would be like $100.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I couldn't find a kit locally. They all had the wrong sizes.
Awesome idea! I have some knuckle bushings I need to change. I just may have to try this...

I'm in the middle of changing all the bushings on my 96 Buick Roadmaster. Checking out all the different ways people do it without special tools. I've been collecting metal plates and big washers left over from projects at work. Now I just hope I have the right size sockets. If not, I'll be cutting and welding some scrap metal together to get it done.
Thanks for watching Dan!

I keep a couple different sizes of hardened threaded rod to make my own bushing presses. and when you are putting everything back together make sure that the vehicle is at "ride height" when tightening any bushing thru-bolt (unless specified in the factory service manual) in order to avoid shortening the life of the bushing.
How are you able to tighten it if you have the wheel back on and it isn't accessable . Do you have to do it in a pit or on a hoist ?
@@Scottsudz84 jack hub
@@Scottsudz84 Jack the car up, place it on jack stands, then use the floor jack under the suspension to jack it to typical compressed, on-road position.
Useful DIY tool..save much money to a special tool

Great tip. You probabily can use this with a different size socket to replace a lot of bushings this way. The tool from Autozone works pretty good.
Yes, use a smaller socket for smaller bushings. :-)

What a really intelligent and simple solution! Thank you.
The only suggestion I would offer is to use anti-seize for the inside of the opening. It will help if you have to remove it and won't absorb or attract water like soap does.
I have some bushings that will need attention soon and this is now on my list of how to do it!

I have the same problem finding anything to press in my suspension bushings that go to the strut so I haven't fooled with them. I have bearing press kit like autozone has but nothing that will work. I gotta say I'm glad it worked. I was thinking of trying to make something similar but hadn't gotten around to it yet but now I know if will work and have a better idea of what to do I think I'll probably do it soon.

Hello , I,ve been doing this for years on old land - rovers , you are doing very well with this , but can I make a few points please : you have a relatively new vehicle here , on an old vehicle , these bell out hard right into the housing ( hole ) , & I have ripped the thread off of a 9/16 UNF hardened steel bolt trying to get them out this way , cranking with 2 sockets & ratchets , the bigger the bush is , the tighter they are in , a moderate smear of copper grease on both , the inside of the hole , & the outside of the bush , helps a lot to locate these bushes , & helps to prevent corrosion jamming them in hard for the next time you have to change it . It,s not a bad idea to copper - grease the through - bolt as well . Also , ensure you have all burrs carefully removed out of " the hole " without enlarging it before squeezing the new one in . This might sound like nit - picking but it all helps snatch success out of the jaws of failure . Good job from an old - timer ! ( use copper grease , not mineral grease as that will destroy your new rubber component )
Nice work.
