Homemade Bush Extractor Removes and Inserts Chassis Bushes

I was gonna say, there's some American ingenuity, but it sounds like you guys are from the UK. Hey, great job. Way to improvise!

I could do with that now my bushes on my series 3 are solid!!!

@jaymac57 Go for it! Before making the extractor the bushes resisted all attempts to drift them out, even when using a sledge hammer - and making a worrying amount of noise too! :-)

@TonyMahlony managed to get them out now but will look into tool for rears and winding new ones in thanks for reply

[TonyMahlony]

@jaymac57 Good job! We found that freezing new bushes overnight made getting them in really easy

OK, How about a video showing us how you made it. Now that would be beneficial to everyone.

@JJRealife Good idea - See video 'Homemade Bush Puller.wmv

Have you tried this on control arms? The forces may not be adequate.
