> Does anyone know if there is a “collar kit” available for S13’s or are you guys making your own to remove bushings. We have a 12 Ton shop press and found that making a top and bottom collar set on the lathe allowed us to remove a complete bushing in just minutes without the drilling/ torching/ sleeve cutting that is often done. So I am wondering if anyone has seen any kits for the S13 that include multiple collars. If not we would have to make up our own set for each different bushing size.

one word, “fire”. i know its messy but burning them out is the best way. bushings are usually rusty and seized in the arm(s). they can bend in a press.
