Ford Power Running Board Bushing, making a removal tool.

In this video I cover the need to make a tool to remove the old bushings from the brackets without running the risk of breaking the brackets. These bushings get in effect welded in due to corrosion of the dissimilar metals.

The external diameter of the bushing when installed is 11.5 MM, so this is what I cut this tool to remove. As a small note, the pins in these Ford running boards are 9.5mm in diameter. 

This tool does make it much easier to remove the bushings that can be really stuck.
