Rear Swing Arm Bushing Removal/Install Tool

Welcome to NBA Jam · 05-05-2018, 09:02 PM

Does anyone know a bushing removal/install tool that works for E90 rear swing arm bushings? I've only found one:

It's around $180 without shipping. That's fairly expensive for a single-use tool. Are there universal ones that also contain the right size? Or does anyone know the sizes required for the press tool and receive cup?

You could always buy it, use it and sell it on ebay at a discount to reduce that cost. If you know someone with a Lathe, you might get a set made that use a ball joint press you can rent for free many parts stores.

There are cheaper single use tools available as well. Before buying, ask the seller if it definitely works with E90.
I changed my rear Ball Joint / Lower Rose Bush Swing arm on my e90 2009 last weekend.
I had bought a tool from eBay UK for £28+free postage on www.ebay.co.uk
Worked well, did not have any instructions ,lol
For ref, Check item no.282928542688 on ebay UK
Although the title say E36 E46 but it definitely worked on my e90

ECS tuning has a set for the entire rear subframe made by Schwaben.

There are DIYs on how to make your own for around $50.00 or so $$.
