so i am in the process of making a few tools for my front suspension

first i have a 36' long steel rod 7/8's in diameter with fine -20 thread


i need to cut it into two 18' long pieces.

i tried a drumel and one other tool that i use to grind nails down.
neither worked i endned up cuting like 1/16th of the way threw

would an electric cheap saw work for this.?
next i need to drill a whole in the top of it
do i need a diamond tip since im cutting steel?



im also trying to make a bushing removal tool for the wishbones


im just gonna get a long bolt . 2 washer. 2 nuts. 1 xtra large socket, 1 smaller socket




the bolt will go threw the bushing. on one end where the bushing will be pushed out ill place a big socket so the bushing can fall into it.
on the other side i will place a small socket that wont get stuck when pushed into the bushings place.. ill place washers so the nuts can hold the sockets. ill just tighten the smaller socket side until it push's into the big socket.\

any ideas on how to cut this bad boy

 

also it says to never re use the spring pan bolts so

what are the length and size replacement ?

i would like to have them before i take them out

 

damn car i just went out side to check fluid levels and my oil and power-steering are leaking . more diy post to come

 

I use a 4 1/2" angle grinder with a cut off disc. Goes through pretty easy. You can get one at Harbor freight for about $20

Can't remember the spring pan bolts exactly but I think they were either M8 x 16 or M10 x16 flange bolts. Use thread locker with them.
