Anybody know if this tool

is suitable for removing and fitting the trailing arm to upper arm bush?

Many thanks in advance.

Saw this on FB and thought it looked same as the one Phil was using. He said it was a BMW E36/46 tool.

Just wanted to double check before I buy

It's exactly the same bush (I fitted ones from an E46 M3) so I'm sure that would work.

EDIT - I did mine with a Hydraulic puller and an old socket.

If changing the bushes I’d make sure you have a spare bolt. One side of mine was seized. Luckily Brian had a spare which saved the day!

I'm changing the upper arms Mark and the bolt on the driver's side bush was solid in the bush, no way of getting it out. Cut through with a grinder which destroyed the bush but, luckily, I had a couple of spares so they'll get changed along with the arms. Got spare bolts as well

Thanks Brian. This would be ok then? Saw it but it says Vauxhall so, thought it'd be no good
