It did the Job,although it was a bit hard as the position I needed to use it was awkward,I had the hub off the car.The cups fit very well and the addition of the little bearings is a nice touch but they collapsed when I was fitting the bush as I had to use a hell of a lot of force to get the bush to move, because of the shape of my trailing arm the reciever cup wouldnt sit square so I had to keep repositioning it. In all honesty I dont think any bushing tool would have performed any better, I have the other arm to do so will try to get pictures and amend this review...I shall freeze the next one to see if it makes it easier on the tool...would I recommend it...yes...nothing is easy when replacing bushings but this did make it easier, I doubt it would have removed my bushing as I had to cut them down the length in 2 lines..and they were 18yrs in the car and rustedRead full review

Tool worked OK for bush extraction, but one of the washers shattered. Cup receiver side relief was too small and required an additional 5mm machining off. Insertion cup internal ID too small to accept rubber seal on bush. 1mm machined off internal ID. Insertion cup internal shoulder ID too small to fit over bush and engage bush shoulder. 1mm machined off. Original finish on all cups very poor with heavy chatter from machining. Original finish cut one of the rubber seals before re-machining.

I bought this to use on a Volvo S80 D5. The tool is sturdy, the original crank pulley bolts are long enough to hold the tool, the slots are a bit loose but all fits. The real issue is that, on the S80 at least, the crank dimensions of the tool place it exactly in the wrong place in 3 of the 4 possible positions with the engine at TDC. Vertically upwards it fits - but then you need to get a lever on it squeezed down by the cam belt (a motorcycle fork keg works well!) Horizontally towards the front it fouls with aircon or oil cooler pipes. Horizontally to the rear it fouls with the suspension/driveshaft. Vertically down it fouls with the subframe. Were the crank dimensions slightly greater then at least two more options would be available. I await to see what it’s like on my V70 when the time comes.Read full review

The tool removed the old bush great but when it came to installing the new bush there was a major design fault. The area of the tool that pushes the new bush in has a chamfer machined on it, this means that it slips of the bush, if it had a square face it would locate better. had to strip the whole rear subframe out and use the garage press.

See picture, the bolt holes do not line up. Had to enlarge the boltholes to 10mm and the dowel hole to 4mm to be able to fit this properly in all 4 bolt holes. The tensioner tool pins are also made of cheese. Bent off in an odd direction as soon as you try and use it. All in all. It does the job. Providing you can make the much needed mods and only need to use it once (the tensioner tool) but if you are looking for a hardy piece of kit for regular use. Don't bother.
