<p>[QUOTE="Kruse Family Farms, post: 12384569, member: 339504"]Hey guys I have a 2001 freightliner classic xl that needs the rear spring eye bushings replaced. I am going to do them at home one way or another but the special press tool to do them the easy way is about $1,000-1,500 bucks. Not feasible for doing the job one time. I had a line on borrowing one but they got some work lined up for it and I don't really want to wait. So my question is what is a good way to get them out without the special tool? I have a decent select of tools but no specialty press that will do the job. I have a torch, sawzall, etc. I have a big ball joint press but it could only press them out if I cut the ears off the bushing. Looking for any input from you guys. I need to do all four cause they are shot and have my alignment messed up. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
