Great news. I rent the 3026 and always get scared, when parts break, I won't be able to source a new tool. This is a great alternative as long as he keeps making it.Alex 88 m5 | 91 318is | 19 Subaru Ascent

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.
You can probably use a jack to push the bushing in.
