Best Gen-ECGS bushing tool

Sweet! They made it in one piece. Probably not cold anymore...
Hope ya like em cuz apparently I broke the law shipping them priority LOL.

 

LMAO. Next person near Omaha, NEB that rents the tool needs to send a "tool" back from the sex toy superstore

 

I had one last night it was tasty.
Did you end up solving your issue or what happened?

 

I needed to get it back together so I just cleaned everything up and the scored up ECGS bushing is in there atm. Gonna order a new one and the tool. I didn't feel right hanging onto the loaner cuz I fucked up, possibly holding anyone up anyone that needed that so I wanted to get it back to ya.
I didn't have the typical vibrations that people have when doing the ECGS bushing. I was just doing it because I had a CV boot go and was gonna be in there anyway.

 

Also, you shouldn’t have worried and kept to tool, it’s hot, but not that hot!

 

I should have kept the tool! FML.
So close!

Slide hammer?





Edit: slide hammer got the last 1/4" of the first ECGS I installed and fucked up. The kit didn't come with an extra nut and I think the fact that I didn't have the needle nose pliers behind there may have part of the reason it broke. I got it done though and the 2nd bushing drove in nicely after being in the freezer for 2 weeks.
I think they should make that piece i.broke from a stronger metal but oh well. Shouldn't have to do it ever a-fuckin-gain!

 

I am newer here and was looking into doing the ECGS bushing when I found this thread. @FrenchToasty are you still loaning out that tool and is it available?

 

Welcome, as much as I enjoy sending the tool to strangers on the internet, we are a community; join some threads and be a part of it.
The loan-a-tool committee has meetings once a month, then notifies me of approved candidates.

 

If I may, I'd like to post up another link to where the tool can be purchased. Please update if more info is needed.

Sorry, I meant no disrespect by the request. I am hoping to do this project next weekend. Thanks for the link to the tool!

 

Hahah who’s the person in the red shirt?

**I do appreciate the time spent with this awesome creation!

 

I asked for Bobby Zimmeruski . Chat GPT had a tall order and didn't deliver

 

Sometimes it prefers my first name, but that's usually reserved to Principal May-zurr-rr

 

I'd read through this thread a few times and watch a couple videos also. I believe the Timmy the tool man ECGS mod video is in here to help. Also may not hurt to call ECGS and verify that it comes with an extra nut on the threaded part of the removal tool? I think it's supposed to but mine didn't. You may or may not need it.
