Rear Leaf Spring Bushings

Hi all,

Just about done with the front suspension installation. I have the 8 new bushings for the rear leaf springs and want to get to those soon. The Service Manual states to use tool C-3709 to remove and install the bushings in “one motion”.

I can’t figure out what this tool is or where to find it, so I am reaching out to you find people for guidance.

What tool/procedure do you use to remove an install the new bushings? Preferably with the springs still on the car. I’d like to just unbolt on end, move the end out of the hanger and do the bushings.

Thanks!
Bob

I think that tool is for the front leaf spring bushing, the ones in the shackle just slide out by hand.

Great! Thanks. Any idea what this tool is called or alternative methods?

Hydraulic press, ball joint press, threaded rod and a piece of pipe, big hammer and some pipe. Just about anything. They aren’t that bad.
