MK4 Golf rear axle bushing tool

[sean]

Hey guys,
The rear axle bushings on my MK4 golf are toast, I was just wondering if anyone has a tool like:

Or knows where I can rent one.

Thanks!

I built my own, two metal plates, threaded rod, nuts and washers. Between $10-20 and you can build your own tool that will work like this one.

Ya I was thinking of going that route but if I'm spending the $20-$30 anyway, I figured I might as well rent a tool built for the job to make it as easy as possible. I don't plan on doing it more than once if I can help it

It's late and my brain is fried, but wouldn't a wheel bearing tool kit do the job?

I actually have a wheel bearing kit bit i am 99% sure that the threaded rod is too large in diameter to fit through the middle of this bushing :(
If anybody has the tool i am also going to have to do mine earlier next year i think or before winter hits. I already have the bushings, just procrastinating on the issue

I built my own from threaded rod and pipe fittings from home depot. I have the parts laying around still if anyone wants an idea of what is needed.
