looks very much like a threaded bar that clamps onto the beam and when you tighten the lock nuts the bush pops out

will be a piece of piss to make one up

have u access to air tools?

i work at vauxhall and for this and other bushed we use a threaded rod with a head welded onto 1 side and a nut on the other, put a spanner over the nut and an air gun over the head (weld a bolt head on) and zipp it in bobs yer uncle and fanny's your aunt, its a lot easier that raking the cupboards to find some half assed km-tool that cost about £300

hmmmm cheers shep

thinkign about it, a bolt with big washer one end, and a nut the other would work as well

as if you put the bolt and washer where 538 14 is, and the nut where 548 13 i, as you do the nut up, it will draw the bush in

Just bash the bush in and out with a socket and hammer. It's only a bit of plastic.
