Pressing out old suspension bushings with a hydraulic press. Technique?
Hey all, so I am trying to press out the old bushings in the control arms with a 20 ton hydraulic press, and I'm struggling a bit. I've bathed them in penetrating oil, and seated either a 13mm socket(pushing on the center spacer), or a ~24mm socket(pushing on the outer metal casing), both with a carriage bolt thru the whole assembly to secure it, and in both instances, I'm not making progress. If you've ever experienced a hydraulic press under tension via rubber, it can actually be kinda dangerous; Ive had things shoot out of them at very high speeds. Can any of you detail how you got them out? Thanks.
