upper control arm bushing in differential housing
Anybody have any tips how to press the upper control arm bushing into the differential housing. The problem is that the housing interferes with the C clamp style bushing press base and cup needed to press the bushing through.
Hope there is a thread somewhere on this.

I've recently picked up the correct Kent-Moore tool for this, but I haven't had the chance to use it yet. You can likely fabricate one yourself.

No serious fabrication.
A couple of pipe nipples, threaded rod, and a translation bearing from a harmonic balancer installer.
I strongly discourage the BFH method. If you crack or break the axle housing ear, there is no fixing ot.

This guy knows what he's doing. I followed his video on removal and installation. Easy peasey except don't forget to oil the new bushing before attempting to hammer them in. Also, I froze mine to shrink. Hope this helps:
