Toe bearing R & R tool

[TeeLew]

I'm curious, what bearing puller kit have you used for getting the bushing out & bearing in to the rear upright? I need to buy one & could use the advice.

It's getting awfully quiet around here.
My understanding is most people use a ball joint removal kit. I have no personal experience so take that for what it's worth. My mechanic said that is what he used.

I used this one with medium luck:

Btw, you can come by and borrow mine if you’re not too far from Reseda.

Removing the bushing was fairly easy with this tool, but I did struggle to make sure that the new one went in straight.

Thx & ordered. I appreciate the offer, but I'm in Orange county, so far enough to be a pain.

I've done this job twice now and the best advice I can give you is to get the car as high as you safely can. You will need lots of leverage to remove and replace the bushing. I was fortunate enough to have access to a lift both times and both times had to use a 3-4 foot long piece of pipe to get enough leverage. The job is quite a workout, lol.
