For those still waiting on their set, they are absolutely getting worked on but nothing is quick anymore. Trying to work around constant road blocks. The 60mm portion of the kits are done. The rest will start tues.

I used mine to replace bushings on the front LCA's. Worked like a dream. Hopefully I'll find time soon to do the rest of the bushings that are patiently waiting in a box.

Looks nice, I’m gonna have crank out a set on my lathe pretty soon. They won’t look as nice as wits end, but I love making my own tools

Question on these, why on the 60mm is the press surface so small? I get the OD of the tool to the ID of the race tolerance, but couldn't you make it bigger inwards?

Next question is would these work on poly bushings with no metal ring?

For OEM sure, yeah the bore ID could be smaller but I try to think ahead and wanted the same tool to work for all the caster bushings with an eccentric bolt sleeve. Make sense?

Yes makes sense. I assume its obvious which side of them to use? I just got OME castor bushings, as well as polyurethane frame end and lower control arms in the rear bushings, and want a tool to push them in and out so i am glad i found these.

But now im wondering if they'll be correct since i have old slee swivel radius arms and adjustable rears
