DIY Subframe Bushing Removal Tool (w124, w201, others?) - Pics and Instructions

[skiier3_9]

I didn't really know where to put this thread. I hope this is the right spot.

Instructions:
1) measure the diameter of the bushing with a caliper
2) cut a piece of angle steel to that length (i used 3/8" x 1" x 1" because it was laying around)
3) cut two pieces of bar steel to ~ 4". i think i used 1/4" x 1.25". whatever was handy.
4) clamp together and test to make sure that it fits snugly on the outside of the bushing, and sits on top of the edge of the cup. if not, grind a little to change the angle slightly.
5) when you're sure it fits, weld the assembly together.
6) drill a 1/2" hole in the center of the angle steel bar.
7) weld a nut to one end of a 1/2" coarse-thread rod.
