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.
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!
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.

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!

Thank you sir, very simple, very easy and not expensive.
Glad it helped! Be sure to rate thumbs up and share the video link with others. Thanks
Excellent video thank you
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!
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!

It is easy to find all the parts needed. Thank you.😁
You're welcome!
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").
Thank you for sharing
I am about to do mine .
Isnt it the greatest feeinng in the world when it finaly comes out !!!
how can people click on dislike button for a great instruction video like this?? thanks mate this video help me so much :)

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!
Awesome idea! I have some knuckle bushings I need to change. I just may have to try this...

Good effort well done
Great job.. loved it
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.
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
Genius! and this idea could be expanded for many more bushes I guess

Thank you! Be sure to look over my extensive video playlists and share.
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.
You do not have ratchet man, but you have smart mind! Great idea!
you the man!!!

Yes, use a smaller socket for smaller bushings. :-)
