I used this puller: http://buy.snapon.com/catalog/pro_det.asp?P65=yes&qt=1&tool=all&INV_ONHAND=&FREIGHT=&qty=1&Item_id=229&PartNo=CJ2002&Price=+n%2Fa+&ListPrice=+n%2Fa+&FORMNAME=1&Desc=Puller+Set%2C+Bar+Gear%2C+Type&SUB_Cat_ID=1466555&SUB_Cat_NAME=Interchangeable+Puller+Sets&Cat_ID=1465957&Cat_NAME=Pullers&group_id=1233&group_NAME=Gear+Puller+Set&store=IntBrowse&dir=catalog

I have not seen the Baum tool others are referencing. It might even be even easier. It took me a few times to get it lined up just right. To install the new bushing, I used a large socket that is the same outer diameter as the bushing. It will press in fairly easily. I used a big C clamp. I wouldn`t use the center of the new bushing to press it in as you risk damaging the boots that seal the bushing.

Maybe someone on this forum (J.?) would let you borrow their tool???

Will this work for the W124 wagon as well ?

TIA,
