Universal Press and Pull Sleeve Kit Bushing Bearings and Seals Removal Installation Kit

There are a bunch of press kits available around these parts. I looked at WLLSCREWU2 and other similar brands. Just buy this one. You get what you pay for. The threaded rods are very strong. The ball bearings a great idea. This still serve you will for many years. Yo, the company offers a warranty too.

The threaded rod uses nuts on both end and lots of different size adaptor. Worked better than I expected. Used it on nissan subframe bushings. I was able to remove and installed new bushing without dropping the subframe completely out. Hung subframe by the lower control arms

Works well but missing some adapters for better fit. I had to use a few washers and a 32mm socket o push the bushing in. I also found the bolt a few inches too long but that’s because I worked without removing the leaf spring.

This kit arrived today. It is really heavy, at 40 pounds. The press sleeves are designed with a tiny lip to press old bushings and bearings out, and it appears they will do that well. One could use the threaded rods too. The case is flimsy and has already cracked, but no matter. These sleeves and attachments are well worth the money, especially for use with shop presses.

I managed to press out 8 bushings before ruining 3 of the 4 rods. I guess the broken one was probably my fault - I clearly overestimated how much it could handle. The others randomly seized up with chewed up threads in few locations. I suppose you could keep them in an oil bath in a negative pressure room, use with gloves on in zero dust environment, and never apply more than 10ftlb torque, and maybe they would last longer.The cups are fine, but i wish there were odd sizes in between. I ended up pushing the pusher every time since the OD would be too close to my ID of the control arms, so they would get stuck.Overall, not great for the money.Update: After 2 more bushings every rod is trashed. In fact, I now have 50mm od tube stuck inside my control arm and no way to push it out. Zero stars

My kit was missing the 82mm sleeve, but had a second 80mm one in its place. I could have returned/exchanged it, but didn't have time to hassle with it. Otherwise it's a pretty good quality set.

I was able to remove the infamous Front Compliance Bushing and all the rest of my control arm bushings with 0 issues. There were a lot of reviews saying the rods all snapped or threads got messed up but I did not experience these problems. My recommendation is to have the sleeve/nut you are applying torque on the very end to reduce any torsion on the middle of the bar (refer to photo). I love the size ranges of the sleeves/rods and the quality of the nut with washers. Definitely satisfied with having this kit in my garage.

I have a small hydraulic press to remove and replace the bushing but it was difficult to keep the bushing straight putting it back in. This kit worked great.. A combo of using both the press and this kit made the job possible saving tons of money vs a shop..
