Guess my phone is crazy then. Well cupcakez doesnt want it anymore so i’ll wait for next person to hit me up. I just ask the next person to be patient with me as i don’t check emails often. And i don’t have notifications on tapatalk, so i may take time to reply due to having a demanding job, please be patient with me .

Yeah your phone is crazy because september 28 is a Saturday and my PM's clearly stated I clearly PMd you after that. Fix your dates on your phone maybe you'd live with the real times then buddy.

Wasn't even for me in the first place. It was for a friend of mine. I'd already used the tool earlier this year, I don't need it again.

I will need to use the tool in March 2020. I will be doing a field op for two month, but when I return, I plan on replacing my diff bushings.

I have been repairing cars for many years - I'm a mechanic. I like my profession and I use a lot of tools every day, but the most useful of them is the torque wrench. I bought it after reading the reviews here https://torquewrenchguide.com/reviews/ and after listening to the reviews of my colleagues, I realized that I could not do without this tool.

Anybody still have one of these floating around I could borrow or purchase?

Did y'all drop the subframe? Can't get a good angle on the sawzall with where it's at to cut even all the way through although everyone else seems to have been okay.

When I did mine I had the car on a lift. I removed the muffler, rear sway bar, V- shaped brace, disconnected the drive shaft from the diff and then dropped the differential to pound out the two front bushings with a 21 - 24 socket and a hammer.

The the subframe bushing I used a drill and drilled around the center sleeve. Then, I took the sawzall and inserted where I had been drilling. I started from there and made a B - line to the outer ring and cut through it. Finally, I took a pry bar and a hammer and hit it twice and it came right out.

My question is.

Can the Subframe bushing (once everything is out) be pushed out with center bushing intact using the air-hammer method?

What I vision is, as one user suggested, just hitting the lip of the outer portion and drive it all in one piece!

Since he had no need for a swazall split.

I can't imagine the rubber center would exert that much force on outer shell to prevent an air chisel from pushing it out. ( hammering at different locations circumstantially and equally)

Just a thought.

The issue would be getting the proper angle to use the chisel. That and the rubber center is attached really, really well.

This is where I'm starting to lean as well which is just grabbing a compressor and an air hammer. Hopefully haven't messed up the subframe too much but the collar is really rust welded in there. Hit it with some Liquid Wrench a second ago but I guess I'll follow with the torch.

I appreciate the replies.

https://imgur.com/a/hQDG22r some pretty poor pictures of the subframe bushing collar. Got it kinda mangled in the back at about the 3 oclock position but past that it won't budge. Do I just need to cut deeper? Kinda see where I've nicked the subframe already a bit.
