Subframe Bushing Removal Tool for all of the following chassis:

E82, E84, E87, E88
E90, E91, E92, E93

Used to remove factory bushings from above platforms.  Also doubles as installation tool for OEM M3 bushings, delrin bushings, or solid aluminum bushings.

However, if you are trying to remove OEM M3 bushing you will have to bend up the lip surrounding the bushing to get it to clear the tool,  All other factory bushing are not a problem, or installing new OEM M3 bushings is not a problem.

To remove the factory bushings you will have to drop the subframe but not fully remove it.  You need enough access to the top of the bushings to put the washer plate on and thread the nut and locknut onto the threaded rod.  For removal of the bushings at the rear of the subframe, you use the tool less the large tanged washer.  For bushings in the front of the subframe you use the tanged washer to catch the narrow lip of the subframe holding the bushings.  The rear bushings are overall easy.  The front bushings without the use of this tool would be extremely difficult as there is no real area to push against the subframe except for the two narrow edges of the subframe exposed thru notches molded into the bushing.   Once bushings are removed you can generally install aftermarket split urethane bushing by hand.  To installing M3, Delrin, or solid aluminum bushings you will have to fully remove the subframe to allow more room on the top to use the tool to pull the bushings back into place.

Washers are cut from high strength steel.  Bronze oil impregnated sleeve & thrust bearings are installed on both sides of the main cup to aid in an effortless removal/ or installation.  They also serve to protect the threaded rod from damage as it slides thru it.  Flange nuts are provided to evenly distribute the forces on bronze thrust bearings and to help everything stay as parallel as possible during the process.  A grade 8 lock nut is provided so you can keep the appropriate end from not turning.   Threaded rod is industrial quality B7 grade which is approx 2.5x stronger than a traditional hardware store threaded rod (120k tensile vs 50k tensile psi)
