Message nismo helpfully supplied a sheet of instructions named "Manual No. TY-562-A1" with my new nismo rear strut bushings. :?) However, the dimensions in the Figures describing the "Special Tools" needed to press out/in the old/new bushings are wrong. For example, "Fig. 1" indicates outer diameter 2.1 inches for pressing out the old bushings; 2.1 inches OD is too large and would not fit into the hole the bushing lives in! I successfully used a 1.75 inch outer diameter section of steel pipe to press out my old bushings (1.75 inches OD was the perfect size; the wall of the bushings is only ~0.05 inches thick so it helps to get the OD of the tool just right). The other dimensions shown in the instructions are similarly overstated.
