Dude the tip for removing the camber bushings at 2:00, such a good idea. That solves the exact problem for removing the 240sx rear lower control arm bushings. So tricky it’s almost like they never intended for it to be replaceable
This is a great video! Thanks for sharing and filming during the process. Liked the creativity used to solve some problems found with utilizing the working space with the HF press!
Sad thing is, it seems like the entire tool industry is not making tools that fit this to avoid all this modifications, I was doing this job today, lord. It's frustrating not because I can't do it, but because all the tools I rented can't do the job
Hi i m from philippines and i love watching video from you...i learned a lot from you...i hope someday i will.be liked you i have a little shop in our garage in i make a rubber bushing from.a loader tire..
This is pretty helpful. Honestly doesn't look like too much fun :( Not looking forward to doing this anytime soon. Tempting to just drop everything off at a shop even though I have a press.
Try to do it with a Honda Element control arm where this bushing is at 90 degree angle. No freaking way to push with a press, the main bushing arm will be on the way
CNT just looked up an element control arm. Looks very similar to an 8thgen civic. It looks doable on a press like this for sure. I plan to do mine soon I'll shoot a video stay tuned
@@NAUS2K I'm thinking now that cutting a tab with a saw like you did may actually work and you are right! Sorry, I missed that part and it is critical. I have to say however that on your video the side wall is about 4 times thicker compared to what Honda uses so it may be hard to put it on a socket. I did the compliance bushing yesterday with 12 ton press from HF, was easy except pushing it back straight, had to do about 15 attempts. The rear bushing was actually OK after 200K miles so I left it the way it is. You may check the video of Eric the car guy doing Element bushings, it is very popular and he had to struggle with an air hummer so I didn't want to even try. If you can film a video with Civic please call it something like "Honda rear control bushing replacement easy way" because there is no easy way for now people know :))) Thank you! ua-cam.com/video/fpaIvEN57Jg/v-deo.html
burning out bushings is for people who have no idea what they're doing, or no tools. it weakens your control arms, especially aluminum control arms. it's not good. you did well.

Thanks man! I had to watch a few times. Currently doing the same thing! Keep up the good work!

Love the creative problem solving! Well done. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for this. I need to do this for a strut bushing on the front lower control arm on my 07 Accord V6. this definitely helps!
Good luck!
smart way to do it! encouraging me to do it on my own

Thanks for the sugestions, this is great. Really thanks for the idea of cutting the slot in the bushing

DIYGuys it does take some time , however much less messy than using a torch to burn all the rubber out like everyone online does !
Great video! Thanks for posting.
very good job!! Thanks for the tips!!
What size socket did you use on top for the camber bushing?
DIYGuys ah crap , if i didn't say in the video I don't remember . I may have missed one
Very helpful, thank you very much 👍
great video man well done thanks best video out finally 🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒
Thank you for your great details video
Well done!!
Thank you!
Hey whats up i wanna see the rest you putting them back in good video , where is part 2
Are you putting stock bushings back in there? or hardrace ones?
Hardrace Hardened Rubber Bushings
Kiss the daily feel goodbye lol! I hope they work out good for you!
Those won't be too bad then. I thinking maybe polyurethane ones. You should be my hardrace 8th gen engine mounts I have the whole set for sale still..
S2k was never meant to be a daily haha, I think they will work great and maintenance free!
Ive still got em on my mind!
great. thanks!
What would we do without Harbor Freight ???
nice
How did the stock upper control arm bushings look ?
gurjit randhawa they are in the second half of this video , they were fine but I replaced them anyways
NAUS thanks how many miles on the car ?

Of course u don't need to burn them out if u use a press numb nuts smh
Then why click on and watch the video if you already knew how to do it? 🤷♂️
@@NAUS2K I failed to mention u were using a press dummy
