I am replacing rear lower control arms. the inner (diff side) bolt is already out but the bolt that goes thru the trailing arm is rust in there. After lots of PB blaster oil and hammering it's still stuck. I cut the bolt out so now I must replace the bushing.

where can I rent the tool to do this? I read that brett anderson/koala no longer rent tools.

I'm opening to buying if it's a master kit that will work on other bushings too.

well, I found the tool to r/r this biatch. $175 + tax and shipping at www.technictool.com.

thanks for the link.

Why are you replacing it? Is this a maintenance bushing?

the bolt that connects the outer lower control arm to the trailing arm is rusted in there. I had to cut the bolt and remove the bushing. I think they actually refer to it as a ball joint.

Koala Motorsports has a tool rental service for a variety of specialty BMW tools including the tool for the R & R of the RTABs. It works great, I know, I've used it.

Great place to do business with too.

in a thread from last dec it states they no longer rent tools. all references to tool rental is gone from their site.

You're right, I jsut checked their web site and the tool rental service is gone.

That's too bad because it was a great resource.
