Wanted Rear subframe bush extraction tool

[DaveStaff]

Evening all.
has anyone got the tool required for extracting and installing the rear round sub frame bushings? Its one of those things that you buy one to do the job and then if your not doing it all the time,(extracting the bushings I meant) then its sits in your man cave never to be used again. If you have such an item and wish to pass it on to a good home please let me know.
Thanks guys

I have one Dave, exactly as you describe, used it once and now sat in the box, I'd love to pass it on but have you seen the price of these things!

The tool is brand new in an unopened box as there was a faulty part in the box when I opened it, after using the tool I sent it back under warranty and it got replaced.

The kit I have is a sealed VS4465

A decent offer and it's yours

Hi Brian,
again a bit of an expense if I am only going to use it the once. Thanks anyway.
Cheers

So here's an offer, you pay P&P for the item, I post it to you, you use it and I arrange to get it collected, for the use of the tool donate say £30 quid to the forum for the up keep of the site.

Only condition I would stipulate, you break it you pay for it.

Sounds a very good offer Brian

Hi Brian H & Brian4,
Thanks for the offer of the rental but I have now figured out a way to remove the bushes with some 3" steel tubing and some threaded bar and washers with nuts.
Thanks again for the offer.
