G'day,
Need to replace rear subframe mounts. Anyone know where I can rent/hire/borrow the puller required. I've got the new mounts and a hoist lined up...Has anyone had their's changed, and if so, where/by who/cost/happy with the result...or did they do themselves...? I'm based just north of Newcastle NSW so happy to travel to get job done/meet up with other members...
avagoodday.

Hi, I have a puller that I borrowed from a member in the US. Trying the job at home on jackstands I couldnt get them removed, so I tried cutting them out, it was taking too long so I quit but I still need to do the job. So Im keen in replacing mine and helping you also. I used a jigsaw with a ~6cm blade and I think I was cutting for about 30minutes with no success. but the tool is suppossed to work for installing and removing the bushes. I will take some photos of it and post it back on here when I finish work or tomorrow.

Go DIY, cheaper,better and faster! I did too, the ones in Shoguns links are really fancy compared to the one I had welded :)
