KD 41780 Automotive Bushing Driver Tool

Question: I’m changing out trailing arm bushing on a 99 Honda Civic will this product help me? KD Tools KD 41780 Bushing Kit Product #: KD 41780

Answer: The KD Tools 41780 kit could help if the diameter of the bushing is no bigger than 1 3/8″ in diameter. Otherwise you may want to remove the arm and take it to an auto repair shop or automotive parts store like NAPA that has a press. A lot of auto technicians that are skilled with an air chisel, use that for removal and then press larger bushings back in with a press.
