Can I use a 1/2 ton Arbor Press for Upper and Lower control arm bushings?

I have one at work but have never used it. Seems like it would work with the right sized socket to press in/out? I think the opening is only 1-1/8" though...not surewhat the diameter of the bushings are.

Correction...just checked..it's a 1-Ton

You won't know until you try.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I used my vise to press the upper bushings in and out.

should work ok.did the last ones with a 20 ton press and it was like butter going in.just make sure there is no burs to catch on the bushings or arm.
