I have since bought a press, and I do the job frequently on lots of diffferent cars. I have the Meyle HD ones in my X5, mine has about 100k km on the 'new' bushings with no complaints! (total of about 330,000km on the odometer!)

anything is possible with the right tools, or improvisations of such!

How wide was the vise?
I'm trying to do this job and the bushing press ended up being too short (OTC 7249)
Where did you get the right size pipe? It's gotta be 66mm
I bought a whole bushing set and it ends with 65mm
