The only place I've seen to get them is from Amazon or eBay, and they all ship from England. The tool is meant for a Vauxhall that uses exactly the same trailing arm. In looking around Vauxhall forums, I read enough stories of people stripping the threaded rod that I just used a pair of large 3/4" drive sockets, a short extension, and a small sledgehammer to bash the old bushes out and drive the new ones in. I realize that I was lucky to have access to a crappy 3/4" drive socket set that I didn't mind partially destroying for the job. I now owe my dad two new sockets and an extension since some of the chrome chipped off of the tools. :) Overall the job wasn't bad. It took a few good blows to get the bushes to start moving, and then they came out fairly easily. The tricky thing about the new ones was getting them to start going in straight.
