Wow! I can't imagine it being that easy on a Mustang rear end. Those things are really in there and the shell is steel. It was a lot of work with the rear out of the car and it's even harder with the rear in the car on jack stands...

I used a drill on the front control arm bushings of my Toyota truck and I wish it was as easy as the video makes it look. Obviously I missed something

sometimes with the drill they just pop out and sometimes they fight you but its better then owning a tool you will use maybe once every few years if your buddies borrow it.

Right, but if I can make one for free, you won't hear me complaining, lol. Then I can still lend it out, yada yada yada.

I can see that and yet am I the only one that thinks there is a little bit of irony that you will use a drill to make your tool?

No drill needed. Not when you use a laser to cut the discs, lol.

 

[DKblue98GT]

Plus, you can't use a drill to install them.

Nope that is what my BFH is fer!

I forgot until just now. The small cup is 25 mm deep.
