1. A service tool for extracting and installing a bushing in an eyelet of a vehicular suspension using an actuator, the service tool comprising:
a frame having an actuator end for supporting the actuator, and a tool end, the actuator end and tool end aligned along a longitudinal tool axis; the tool end further comprising first and second straddle plates spaced and connected together for forming a housing port open laterally to a side of the frame and aligned along the tool axis between the first straddle plate and the actuator end, the first straddle plate forming an anchor plate and the second straddle plate forming an interface plate between the tool end and the actuator end, the first and second straddle plates being connected together by a wall extending between the plates and being discontinous for forming the housing port, and the interface platge having a passage therethrough sized to freely pass the bushing, the first straddle having an extraction port therethrough along the tool axis; the housing port sized to accept the suspension from the side of the frame with the suspension adjacent the anchor plate and a bushing aligned along the tool axis, the actuator being operable between the actuator end and the bushing; wherein when the actuator is actuated to engage the bushing,
the actuator urges the suspension to bear against the anchor plate for support thereby; andfor installation, the bushing is urged into the supported suspension, andfor extraction, the bushing is urged out of the supported suspension and at least partially through the extraction port. |
