    have any of you used one of these to pull the tailshaft bushing out without pulling the tailshaft ?

    i'm trying to use this on my T5 trans

    and they sell this type for the c-4 but couldn't find it and if it will work on a c4 it should work on the t5 because it takes the same yoke right:cool:

    It's just as easy to remove the tailshaft housing from the transmission and remove the bushing standing up, instead of laying under the car. Last one I did, all I used was a screw driver and hammer to remove it, once it was out of the car. Come think of it, I don't see how either of those tools will fit into the tailhousing with the mainshaft in there too.

    I have used many that look like the Miller transfer case tool. The come in several sizes for different size shafts and work very well. I have never used the cheaper looking spreaders - how do you know you are on the bushing and not on the shoulder of the housing? If I was only going to use it once or twice I might try the cheaper tool but it better be a lot cheaper in price because from what I can see it is a lot cheaper in construction.

    The ad says it is for a C6 - It should work.
    Paypal is always there if it doesn't
