What size press is required to do this?

I snapped off a bolt that holds the control arm to the traling arm. I cut the nut off the other side of the trailing arm, removed that. (old drum ones replacing with disc) Then i took off the control arm to try and remove the broken bolt stud. Its siezed in the bushing hardcore.

I need to press out the old bushing and press in a new one and get a new bolt, should i let honda do it, or what size press is required?

Thanks

I have heard people using as small as a 6 ton press for bushings. Personally I spent a little extra for the 20 ton and I'm glad I did. So far there's nothing it can't move.

 

That guy Wes Vann whose webpage you linked up is crazy. Man he fabs all kinds of stuff! Check out the entirety of his webpage if you haven't.

 

on my front lca a 6 ton jack didnt do squat, i ended up using a air chisel to get those bushing out, the rest where straight forward, i need a press to get the trailing arm bushing in (not included in master kit_
