Make one yourself. Get a piece of pipe about 4' long and larger than the size of the bushing, a bolt with a nut about 10' long and large washers. One washer has to be a little smaller than the diameter of the bushing; another should be larger than the diameter of the pipe. Put the pipe on the side you want the bushing to come out. Put the smaller washer on the bolt and insert it through the bushing and the pipe. Put the larger washer and a nut on the side of the pipe and start tightening it. The bushing will pop out into the pipe and you can use the same tool to install the bushings, just use some dishwashing liquid. Hope this helps.

To press the rear suspension trailing arm bushings out and new ones in. Would you know where and how much? Oh, it's a 1991 325ic.

Thanks.
