Want to borrow: rear axle beam bushing press

[kujiwara]

I need to replace the rear axle beam bushings on my mk4 jetta, does anyone have tools I could borrow?

Scrap flat metal + threaded rod minimum 3/8 you only need a foot + casing from an old front wheel bearing and you have the tool to get the bushing in. Air chisel to get the old one out works pretty good as long as you don't do anything too stupid.

Sweet! I'll rig that up instead then!
