Honda Bushing Extractor

Anyone have a Civic trailing arm bushing extractor for rent/borrow? Will pick up!

Honda dealer that i worked at has one.
I used it a few times, but then realized i could just use a hammer and smack the old one out and smack the new one in. Without using the bushing extractor tool. Just make sure to measure the depth before wacking it out so you know how far to install the new one.
A bit of penetrating oil helps too

I would use a hammer and spend half an afternoon doing the job but would rather spend the 30 seconds it takes using the extractor. Also there are always the what ifs, like what if I'm an idiot and can't get it lined up properly when re-installing... Better to not take chances, though if I don't come across one to use I may just end up using the good ol hammer. Thanks!

That was kind of my point. Alot of guys ditched the tool because it took longer, and a bit cumbersome, especially installing the new bushing. When using the tool to install, I'd first use a hammer to get it started, but then the tool would wind it in cocked. With just the hammer, i'd actually have a bit more control
