[s-cars] all new bushings in the front, wheel rubs mud flap even worse

[Fred Munro]

Hi Robert;

If you are referring to the puller tools used to remove the inner bushing
from the two rear bushings, I've taken those out with a pair of needlenose
pliers. If you are referring to the tools to press the rubber bushings in
and out of the subframe, I've never done that but I'd guess you'd need a
tool of some sort. You could probably make one that would work out of pipe,
plate and a threaded rod.

  Fred,

  The Bentley manual calls for 2 tools to remove the subframe bushings. One
for the front bushings and one for the rear bushings. Can this job be done
without the tools?

  Regards,
