HI, I tried to make one as well... work for half way but then it started to bend the middle rod.... this is what i did.... use a sawzall and remove the inner sleeve... youll see once u have it all in the air. all thats left after is the outter part... take a small hacksaw and just start cutting toward the subframe... slowly take ur time... once u get near the end just pry it out... should all come out... as it all rubber, the only metal is the innersleeve where the bolt goes through... The tool just makes it allot faster, but if u have patience this is my way... hope that helps!

ok so today i tried replaceing the rear subframe bushings on a 01 4.4. Holy S^&*T! They were beyond worn. The centers poped right out. 1 bolt on the drivers side was bent and a pain in the a$$ to get out. Used a sawsall to get the old bushing out. Greased the new ones and put them in with the jack stands under and dropped the car slowly and the slid right in. Now 1 bolt went in no prob. the second WTF started to strip and to cut the tip off to thread it back in. Now onto the other side. Forget it. Got 1 bolt off and the other an 1/8 off then thats it wont turn clockwise or counter clockwise. Cold it have bent the screw from driving so long with the bushing shot. Couldn't get it off even with an impact gun.

I think my rear sub-frames bushings need to be replaced also. Do you have to drop the rear sub-frame to get the new bushings in? Any idea what a reasonable price for a shop to do this replacement?

yes. the car has to have the rear up on jack stands. then do 1 side at a time. there is a diy by x5girl as mentioned earlier in the thread.
