bushing tool

Here is a A arm bushing install tool I threw together ,Could have ground torch cuts but I didn't .Works nice .No press to mess up the A arm. Read where a press will bend the arm.

Nice! Is the hardware of sufficient strength to get that done? I would think that maybe a longer (deeper) nut would be in order for that process owing to the risk of stripping the threads.

Nice idea. Anytime I use a press I always use a spacer to prevent damage to your point. I have one made up for doing the half shaft universals.
