Thread: Lazer bush replacement tool

RRC ball joints............. split pin out, castellated nut off, bottle jack putting a LITTLE pressure on the underside of the ball joint thread, pin torch on only one small spot on the hub housing where the taper is, pops out without a really big bang.

Well, i went and bought this one:

27pc Universal Press And Pull Sleeve Kit Bush Bearing Removal Insertion Tool Set | eBay

Seems like it will do the trick.

Does anyone know him/have an email possibly to contact him?

Either that or I'm going to attempt w/ some ebay kit!

i think he's still around, i got a message from him not so long ago. have you tried pm or email via pm

Nah I haven’t yet, I’ll see how I go with this ebay kit. Thanks for the info though!

I rented it off Uteman last time! He probably still has it...

If you have a very tight one (one of mine was stuck hard) get a stainless cap nut (as they are softer) tension the bushing removal tool as tight as you dare (I snapped a very strong threaded rod first go!) And put the cap on so it's on the nut for the tool... Then wail on it with a bolster... I got mine off with a lot of hammering, then tighten again, hammer again, etc.

Mine were original and only a small amount of surface rust but enough to jam one tight.

I recommend the lemforder bushes unless you like doing it twice...
