I plan on replacing the bushing on my 240 and think it's time to get a hydraulic press but which one is the question. I don't want one that will be under size to do the job and I want to avoid over kill (unless the price get be passed up).

What size press should I be looking for?

    Some will use presses from Harbor Freight, at least what I'd read here.

    I've brought the A-arm and the rear large control arm bushing 'box' if you will to a machin shop with a press and mandrels to drive out the old bushes and drive in new bushes.

    Install sort of not entire tight, and let the alignment mechanic loosen and re-tighten the solid rubber bushes you've replaced.

    Hope that helps.
