I am in the process of installing my Steeda UCA....let me tell you what a PITA it is to get the old bushings out...I spent 6 hours today just to get one side done... i started on the other side but i am going to finish that on the morning..I had to drill....used a torch and then a wire brush...torch again...scrap with a screw driver...not fun at all....

Yeah, that MM tool looks like a good buy for $40 - I can only imagine how tough they must be to remove. I am sure they are...in a real awkward place with not much room to work.

It is both a bushing removal tool and bushing installer?!?!?!?!??!?!?
