I wonder if you bust the tool, is it still under the FCP warranty program?

Funny you should ask... the threaded shaft bent while removing the second bushing (this was before I knew extreme heat was my friend). Since I owned it for a whopping one week and used only on my car they issued me a store credit.

Did this require a breaker bar or an impact driver?

I used a breaker bar, it was a bear of a job without using enough heat to melt the outer plastic shell on the bushing.

Are these these not the trailing arm bushings...?

I used an impact driver rated to 250lb pounds and it got the job done

They say not to use an impact driver on those tools...


I run a drill bit through the plastic bushing sleeve on the top of the bushing.

It allows the shell to break away from the arm. Also, it leaves no melted mess.

The force required to bend that is crazy...

I bought mine from IPD. It was such a challenge getting them out, that I stripped the threads on the tool. I think the picture you are showing is the transverse arm bushings. On my 96 850 the rubber looked good but the metal bracket was broken.
