I need my solid bushings pressed into my subframe. Ive been to a lot of local shops with no success. either there press is to big, or my subframe is to bulky to get into the press. email me!

Hey this is just a thought depending on how tight the fit is put them in the freezer. Then warm up the subframe, drive it in using wood & a heavy rubber mallet. I do this with some cars wheel bearings, & all the time at work for different machines. IDK just a thought!!!

I froze them for days, no luck. I didnt warm th subframe, ill try that next. They are CRAZY to big though. I emailed SPL and they said they had to be maciene pressed in, which is BLAH. I might just go with another brand or something.

you'll be surprised how well a propane torch works. just keep in on the subframe for a few minutes straight and then bang the bushing in with a bearing driver and a hammer. if that doesn't work, just heat it longer.

Try LEEAUTO in Alameda.
They will either do it or send you right to someone that can.

Place bushing on subframe. Get long bolts and big washers. Use impact wrench to compress the bushing into subframe. That is what I plan to do.
