Well I was out working on the old love of my life LOL and Beings the first try and making my own bushing removal tool failed. I used all thread and not very big either and it snaped I decided to find a larger bolt hardened steel so it wouldn't break. I went to Home Depot and they didn't have gread 8 bolts big enough for what i needed so I'm lookign around and i see a 5/8 piece of all thread and I think to myself yeah that will work its huge. So i get it take it and a drill bit take them home drill my holes bigger put it on the car and go to town. I moves the bushing a little bit so I mess with it a while and notice the all thread is now bent I was like holy ****. So i work on it a while and while I'm messing with it my nut (lol this sounds so wrong) goes into the socket which is on my impact wrench so i stick my finer into the socket put my finger in the nut to pull it out and as i'm pulling it out i hit the trigger teh socket spins the bolt onto my finger i pull my finger out and the nut is liek screwed unto my finger. I was so shocked i was just like oh **** this ain't good i pull the bolt off and my finger has like slices where the nut dug in it. It looks like my finger is threaded. All that and the damn bushing is still on there

yeah my car hates me and likes to hurt me while i'm working on it. When the first attemp snaped my hand sliped and hit something and got a gut on my hand. My dad helped be get one of teh lower control arm nuts off and he used a torch when he got the nut off he just laid it under the car and was like here hold this for something else and when i put my arm down I put it right on the wrench and nut and burnt my arm. He sat there and kinda laughed I was like you ****ing *******

There is a tool to turn a dye on a bolt. You don't need to use your finger.
