Anyone ever replaced Rear Control Arm Bushings?

The press and receive adapters here is what I need.

You can rent the c-clamp tool and dies from autozone in their 23 piece set for $140 that is fully refundable when returned (I think they allow you 4 days)

I stopped by my Advance Auto and they have this one for rent. I just don't know if it will have the size dies I need. This is the one they offer. Does this look like the one you rented?

Yes. But I have a press already and a set of press dies.

Can you tell me if your press came with the dies you mention, and specifically did the rental kit have dies that fit that I can use? I see a mention of the Sir Tools 3027 adapter in the other thread and can pick that up for $55 so I might go that route.

*EDIT* I went ahead and ordered the Sir Tools 3027 bushing adapter kit from Tool Discounter

I used parts from the rented kit basically as a receiving cup so I didn’t have to do some wonky unsafe pressing
