Here's a close up of one of the last two rear control arm bushings needing replaced; The uppers at the differential "ears". The car has been a driver, and is all together, so I have to replace them in the driveway.

So, I'm making a press-in tool out of 7/16" threaded rod+nuts, 2" i.d. metal pipe and some scrap steel plate. I won't cut the rod to length yet, until I answer this question:

Looking at the picture, it appears to me that the only significant part of the press-in that's going to be most difficult is the widened "shoulder" on these bushings? Essentially the last 1-1/2" of travel into the "ear".

Got all weekend to ponder and make this tool. Am I screwed up in my thinking?

Thanks!
