Mine is out to redo AND install sunroof and visor. I have read too many horror stories about Lund's pulling out, so I am going to drill all the way through and bolt it on with backing plates and lots of silicone sealer. NEVER come off, and I can use nylock nuts so it will never loosen

So I bought the specialty tool to do my upper control arm axle end bushings and I'm happy to report it wasn't a waste of money. I got my new upper control arms and axle side bushings installed in just over 2 hours from start to finish. I did have a lift, but I didn't have to remove my shock or coil sping to get to the bushings. The long bolt went right through the coils giving me plenty of room.
The tool was worth every penny especially after hearing of all sorts of horror stories of people cutting them out or burning the rubber part out and then cutting the sleeve to get it out. Sorry for the crappy pictures, I used my cell phone in a hurry.
Removing bushing.
Putting in new bushing.
