NAC: Tool for bushing removal/installation

[Geraint Lloyd]

Cher Monsieur LePoilu

got a 46 mm 3/4 inch drive socket  and 'modified' golf
2 cv joint (bit
chopped off one side and a hole where the hub splines
used to be) for
pulling those fugly bushes into the rear arms of golf
2s and 3s.

all you need is the M10 threaded rod, but i'm sure
that you have some in
your cavern :-P
