Default Hydraulic shop press (pepboys)

Pepboys is selling a 12-ton hydraulic shop press. I was wondering if something like this can be used to press out the LCA bushings... or the trailing arm bushings. Does anyone have experience with something like this?

yeah that'll work. again, u'll need the right sized bits for the bushings. i figure they'd sell some with the press but i dunno. the only problem using these presses on the LCA's is that u have to be very very careful. u can easily bend the LCA if its not positioned just right.
