Just thought I'd ask if anyone locally has the subframe bushing tool needed to remove the e30/Z3 rear subframe bushings? I wish there was somewhere I could rent the tool from but thats not available.

My only option at this point is to heat the bushings up with a torch and try to pry them out...something that I knew I would have to do when I first started but damn, not really looking forward to it.:para::flamethro

Its all Z3s...the stock bushings suck and the diff support/trunk floor like to pop welds.
