Message I've done. I used the half inch threaded rod and staggered large washers which only allowed me to pull the bushing flush to the member (which the lip has to push beyond, not through it) . I then used the the spare tire well as a base and pushed it the rest of the way through from the opposite end, haha ghetto I know. Your contraption looks like you won't have to do that, I think the only improvement you could have would be to find a washer the would extend past the the edge of the bushing. Also the most critical part of pushing it through is getting it perfectly square with the hole. The subframe member does not have a perfectly square base behind the tubular hole so maybe initially you should just use the "block end" of your puller flush to the hole to ensure the bushing goes in square.

I can't remember how many times I had it pop out bc it wasn't going in perfectly square and pressure wasn't equally distributed around the bushing.

PS- mogaffar you are superhuman if you managed to push those bushings through with lube and brute strength. I am amazed.

PSS- I edited my post more times to remove inuendo than I did for clarity.
