I've got a 12-ton shop press from Harbor Freight. I've got a new set of bushings for the rear control arm on my 2004 XJR.

Where do you find the accessories for driving out the old bushings and driving in the new bushings? (What are they called might be a good start).

I'm very mechanically inclined, and I've changed bushings before, but I just happened to have a steel pipe that was the exact size I needed last time. This time I don't and I need to locate something.

 

You can get them at Harbor Freight you just need to make sure you get the right set.

 

I was there in the store today, but the two sets that they had in stock didn't fit. (I brought the bushings in to test fit.)

The bigger bushing needs an O.D. 56mm (2 7/32) and an I.D. > 49mm (1 15/16)

The smaller bushing needs an O.D. 47mm (1 27/32) and an I.D. > 41mm (1 5/8)

What are these things called? Receivers? Drifts? Press gadgets?

 

Have you looked at sears tools on line?

 

I went to the HorborFreight webpage and could not find the metric set I thought they once had. Disappointing!
