Subframe bush removal

[Nasty90]

When I installed my A-arm bushings I used a ball joint press tool I got as a loaner. The way I used it, I placed the large C-clamp on a table vise and placed the A-arm on and set the new bushing on top for pressing. If you got air tools, fire on it. It's labor intensive, but it will get the job done.

The very first one listed does both the larger and smaller void bushes on the cortina but these others just do small or large
but the cortina one is the one to go for i will check the vauxhall ones on monday as i have a subframe bush handy and will check as that opens up more tools to go for

Got one sorted now.

Raj is it best to go for the small or large Cortina one if buying individually?

I've got both subframes to rebush, as well as my wishbones if i can adapt the tool to work, one of these tools will make my life a lot easier!!!
