Trying take out the bushing on a rear shock... Any tips on how to do this

Make yourself a puller using a couple of sockets and a long bolt

The puller will work if you have a standard bushing. If you have a split bushing, you'll need a sharp dift and hammer.

Use bitzz's puller idea. It'll work

Do this.

You can also use a bench vise instead of the long bolt if you don't have one handy. Either way go slow and steady taking care to make sure everything goes nice and straight. If it starts going a bit sideways just loosen it off and reset and try again.

Ok and just pull the bolt end out slowly?
If i can get a T shape bar it will be easier to pull right?

As you tighten the nut on the threaded rod, the bushing is forced out and into the socket. No pulling is required. The new bushing can be pressed in with a bench vise.

I'm ghetto, so I see myself doing this, not the most refined method but the quickest. If you use a pipe with similar diameter as the bushing you can put a hammer to it
