Hi I've looked around on the net and I can't find front end tool kit to rebuild the front suspension for use with a press. Help...any ideas, or links? Thanks, Mark

I assume you are rebuilding the whole thing - upper and lower bushings and BJ's?
For the lower you can press the shaft out through the torsion bar side but ultimately you will be stuck with the outer sleeve of the bushing in the control arm. To deal with this try running some weld beads on the inside of the sleeve to shrink it or drop a thick washer in the hole and fold over the material to capture it. Then just press it out through the hole from the torsion bar side. For the upper bushings you will need a piece of pipe to support the arm and allow the bushing to drop through. Access to a lathe will be beneficial here. For the upper BJ there is a special 4 point socket.
