Bushing replacement for my 80 (1 Viewer)

[vfrer]

Hey all.... so I have a set of OME bushings I want to put in my 80 and wondering if anyone has a recommendation for where I could go to have it done. I am planning on getting a landtank template but do I need the press tool as well or would a shop be able to do it without? If I need one does anyone have one they could rent for some nice cold beer?

Nat, that press you have might give you a problem getting out the stock bushings. A 20 ton press is about the minimum needed.

i have a 40 ton bottle jack i can stick in there if needed

when i did mine, a 50 ton press was maxxing out when the bushings finally popped

I've heard they can take some serious force. I'm willing to give it a shot if you are Nat. I can take the arms off and bring them up but probably not until next week at the earliest as the garage is currently full and the 80 is my daily driver for the week. Also willing to bring them to a shop if there are any suggestions.
