Hard to say, depending on what is used to press on the bushing. I used 27 mm socket for front and rear bushings- so in this case it would not work- that tool is too short (and not wide enough?). Plus, look at the subframe itself- there are no sharp edges there, the tool would slip probably. Just my opinion though. The most important thing while pressing a new bushing in is to make sure that force is applied to the outer steel shell of the bushing. I was intimidated by the idea of pressing in new bushings, but in the end it was the easiest part of the job for me and took less than an hour. On the other hand, two sway bar bolts snapped and it took me 7 hours to replace sway bar bushings (drill out bigger hole and used bigger bolt/nut combination).
