Its cool you guys offer this but for 130 bucks id rather get a Sawzall to be honest. Ill be doing this on a lift and for 130 bucks I can get 4 hours of lift time. Sure cutting the ring out of the subframe with a heavy ass Sawzall in hand is not gonna be that comfortable but for 130 bucks ill spend the extra half hour and make a few cuts. Now if I could find this tool used for half that price id be all over it. Or if you guys sold it for like 75 bucks instead of 130 I might consider. Just throwing that out there. Nice looking rig though and this seems like a great idea for anyone whos got the money or wants an easier cleaner way to do the job nothing wrong with that.
Yes it's over priced in my opinion for one time use. I'd just use a saw zaw. However if you're going to use that tool to do the removal for other people for a side hussle it's worth it.
I did find though when doing subframe bushings its best to drill a hole, cut the rubber out with a wood blade. When you transfer to the metal blade make two small cuts in the inner part of the bushing collar (make sure to be heavy handed towards the top, its really easy to cut into the bottom) and do only 5-10 seconds each time with the sawzall, when you have a nice score use a round punch to fold the tab in, thats what helped me not mar the subframe because the almumin us easy to score and nick
On the threads of the tool we use a moly type grease like ARP lube (you can probably get away with bearing grease if you have it on the shelf), on the bushing itself we'll use a silicone aerosol spray like CRC's Silicone Lube that can be found on the shelf at any auto parts store.
I know this comment is 4 years old. But you can feel it by abruptly getting off or onto throttle. If you feel like you have to be very careful with adding power from a stop or the whole car jerks around then you probably need this.

I knew this day would come. A video with Spencer and a can of lube...
Wish it wasnt like $130..
"Lube up the bush and slide it right in"
looks like it can be done in the drive way!! pretty sweet
It can! I've done it with mine on my 350Z. Amazing how specialty tools and a bit of lube can help get rid of a saggy bush
How do you get the front diff bushings out?
Hammer and socket but it has to go out a certain way
@@hackdeez1075 yeah I ended up doing that haha. Main rear one is a c**t though. Got so far with the tool and then broke the tool 😂

Will it work on 2018 models?
What is the price of this tool?
does this tool make your labor rate go down a bit if i chose to have y'all do the install since this seems like it saves a little time?
newls1 I think they have always had a special tool for this.
the earings though. Are you part of the Persian army (movie 300)lol
Doing this right now.
What's the best lube to use before sliding it in?
On the threads of the tool we use a moly type grease like ARP lube (you can probably get away with bearing grease if you have it on the shelf), on the bushing itself we'll use a silicone aerosol spray like CRC's Silicone Lube that can be found on the shelf at any auto parts store.
Cool! Thanks for the reply.

How do we know a differential bushing is blown besides the black liquid? Noises?
You should feel it when you're driving, especially wheel hop and the rear end swaying.

Too bad that this tool can no longer be found on their website.
Just when I needed it! 🙁
