Polyurethane Bushings Instalation
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?

Re: Polyurethane Bushings Instalation
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.

Re: Polyurethane Bushings Instalation
I had my ES bushing kit installed by my sponsor. Took them 10-12 hours. They usually charge $60/hour.
If you do it yourself be ready for your car to be down 2-3 days if not more.
