    Description

    Subframe Bushing Removal / Installation Tool for E30.
    Works with the following models:
    E30 era BMW 3 Series, which includes, 1984-1991.  318i, 318is, 318ic, 325, 325e, 325es, 325i, 325is, 325ic, 325ix and E30 M3 as well as 1992 & 1993 model 325ic (convertible)
    To remove the factory bushings you will have to fully remove rear subframe.  Removal of the
    bushings without the use of this tool would be extremely difficult as there is no real area to push against the subframe except for the two narrow edges of the subframe exposed thru notches molded into the bushing.   Once bushings are removed you can use tool to install OEM M3 bushings, aftermarket Delrin, UHMW, Urethane, even solid
    Aluminum
    bushings.  Make sure the slot in the side of the new bushings align with the raised dimples in the subframe.  See pictures for details/ instructions.
    Washers are cut from high strength steel.  Bronze oil impregnated
    sleeve & thrust
    bearings are installed on both sides of the main cup to aid in an effortless removal/ or installation.  They also serve to protect the threaded rod from damage as it slides thru it.  Flange nuts are provided to evenly distribute the forces on bronze thrust bearings and to help everything stay as parallel as possible during the process.  A lock nut is provided so you can keep the appropriate end from not turning.
    Please use hand tools and not impacts and grease the rod well.  A little soap on the bushings can help a little, though not necessary, and grease for solid aluminum bushings is needed to ease install
