RTAB removal/replacement

[dfess1]

Is there a write up on the web or is the Service Manual more than enough info for this. I was looking for maybe some better pics than are in the service manual.

If you want the easy way out, get the powerflex bushings. Easy install (no tool needed).

what are these? work better than the stock busings?

ALso, where can I get the tool used in teh write up to remove and install the bushing? I couldn't find a part number listed, and am trying to do this in about 2 weeks, so want to line all my ducks up so to speak.

I made a tool for something like $10~15 bux, worked like a charm and easy to use but hard on the hands (wrenching to press in the bushing). Look at some of the links on the DIY thread and you should be able to find it. Mine was a long threaded rod and some PVC unions and a steel plate to push against. worked great and used it on my truck, jeep and the bmw...
