Morning all he we go. I need to replace my lower control arm bushings, I have purchased the spring compression tool. I have also watched fupabox's vid on how he removed his old bushings, now here is the but. My replacement bushings are not the poly type they are roco they have the metal sleeve, I do not have the bushing compression tool, buying all these tools is getting pricey. Has anyone installed new bushing theirself? I will freeze the said bushings for a day or two to shrink them a little and heat up the lower arm, was thinging of using a large vise or a large c-clamp to install said bushings. Will this work?? Any and all input is welcome. Thanks again.
