Quavey Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 id say 6 ton would be enough! I doubt there would ever be anything like 6 ton trying to pull the bush out on the car so youd have thoguht 6 ton would be more than enough to get said bushes into the hole.... Surely some lubricant and a vice shoudl do the trick in most cases hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wow300 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Suprising sometimes though the force needed, heard 6 ton been used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave53 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I have a 10 tonne press... it does the job easily... i think 6 tonnes is probably okay. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coopers-SWB Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 The guy that tried to change my outer ball joint couldn't get one out with a 10 ton press so just be aware that it may not be enough for some jobs. Darrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taff Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I made a puller tool for the rear hub bushes basically 2 machined cups bit like sockets one soild with a hole for a very strong bolt one with a big hole for the bush to pull into like a socket .This worked great you can do all the rear hub bushes rear upper arms and rear traction arms .If i can find it you can borrow it if you want.:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
