I was wondering if anyone has put the Energy Suspension master bushing kit in. Did you use a hydrolic press or do it by hand? I just got my kit and it says to use a hydrolic press, but I don't have one. All the shops want to charge me an arm and a leg to press out the old and put in the new. Any ideas anyone?

yes they suck to do and yes you need a press, so im sure it would be expensive to do...i did one on my 91 hatch and will be doing one on my 95 prelude next.....

If you check out that link I posted it tells about the burning method. Which not only stinks it's just as time consuming as the right way. We just did a 96 talon and charged 7.0hrs of labor at $69 per hour.

I had my ES bushing kit installed by my sponsor. Took them 10-12 hours. They usually charge $60/hour.
