good day ...
seems like c-clamps of varying sizes are de rigor tool for
bushing extraction/insertion. what do the pro's use for this
chore? seems like there is a specialty tool for about everything
else, seems odd there is not one for bushings.
since i'm approaching a full front end rebuild on my spit, i'd
like to get the right sized c-clamps ready :)
