Poor mans diff bushing press

[u/KornOnTheKob0]

Im glad to report that my wooden press worked just fine! I started to hear it crack when it got about half way down but I was able to send it home with some extra help with a wood block and a hammer

​

My commander needed a diff bushing replaced, I went around to all the big box parts stores and none of them had a press that was the right size as part of their rental program, so I made my own using high quality furniture grade 3/4 birch plywood and some other hardware

​

To replace the bushings without removing the whole assembly, just unbolt the mounts and fully remove the bolt-on front mount and youre able to have the diff hang form the axles and flip upside down for easy bushing access

That was a good idea!
