I need to press in my rear control arm bushings. Does anyone have a press I could have use of?

Careful you dont crush the control arm when trying to get them out. When they are rusty, they will not just press out.

You can get them out w/ a drill and air chisel if you are careful.

I got them out. Now I am ready to put the new ones in. I am making up spacers to support the arms so they do not collapse while pressing the new ones in.
