DIY subframe bushing

[goohead]

I had a little trouble finding a reciever to my ball joint service tool to accommodate the large ~3.5" subframe bushing so I figure if anyone else had this issue I post up what worked for me.

3" PVC pipe adapter w screw in top. I didn't know if the PVC would hold up to the force needed to remove the bushing so I went hand tool the first bushing. After that a 1/2" impact or bigger worked fine.

Needed:

3" PVC adapter
3" PVC screw cap
Ball joint service tool
Impact/ breaker and socket

*after the bushing gets pressed out it might get stuck in the piping, undo the screw top and just tap it out.
