Where can I rent a bush extractor tool? I'm doing rear control arm bushings on a civic coupe on monday and I really think life will be easier to get this tool. Anywhere Dublin based? Thanks

wouldn't be cheaper take off control arm, bring with new bushes to some local garages, and ask to change ? 10 min work.
If i am not mistaken,before when youll goin tighten bolts, rise hub with small jack in regular hub level (just be carefull, it not slips off hub- safaty first) , mean same level if car would be on ground, and then tighten up bolts. such technique make bushes live longer.

Cut em out

or just pick up a generic multi bush tool on Ebay, you'll use it again.

There are companies who rent tools to garages/trade alright. I doubt they would to the public though.

+1 - then go to a local garage with a press and ask them to push the new ones in for you.
