Anyone use the HF Press for Control Arm Bushing? 200 1990

Presses, tools, and pullers get assembled to do what removal or install is needed.
Sometimes a file, hacksaw, or Dremel-type tool, in a pinch, the acetylene torch, can destructively remove the old part to be discarded.
Sockets of various sizes make the best tools as with half and three-quarter sets generally having almost any needed diameter. Also, do not overlook pipe, rod, and the larger washers, including square washers, available at your store along with grade 8 bolts, washers, and nuts.
As always a caution, iron pipe has preference as PVC or ABS pipe shatters when subject to high impact or extreme stress, however still is found in many Volvo owner's tool chest drawers as it works easily with files for those who lack lathes.
Universally, a clean polished bore makes for a proper installation when the edges are rounded and not distorted. Inspecting the old part and bore shows what is needed. A very light synthetic oil in the bore may lubricate the pressing action.
Label any tool made for identification the next time needed by your Volvo fleet.
