SST-0160 - GM 350, 180, 200, 200-4R Extension Housing Bushing Driver/Installer and Removal Transmission Tool/Kit

Used this puller and driver on early Muncie in 67 Chevelle. Both puller and driver are nicely made and worked well. Had minor issue with fingers of puller not engaging bushing solidly enough for removal, but easily remedied by GENTLY bending fingers outward enough to solidly engage the bushing. I used some regular painters tape to wrap around the sliding sleeve of the puller to build up diameter accordingly to keep the fingers from disengaging, crude, but worked great. Driver fit well and made for trouble free bushing installation, only other thing I did was put a little grease on threads of the forcing screw. I'm glad to have this set for future use, made this "in car" repair as easy as it's going to get, and in my opinion, well worth the money.

I got to use it twice, so that’s better than toilet paper. 🤷🏻‍♂️ First time it took several tries to get it to grip the bushing and pull it. The second time it gripped the bushing fine, but only pulled the bushing and twisted itself up to the point of no repair. The “handle” for the inner sleeve is twisted and the bolt is bent nearly to the inner side of the sleeve. Can’t back it out, so I can’t get the sleeve out to straighten it. At least the bushing installation sleeve still works, but the rest is scrap metal. Also, FYI some TH 350s have a hollow output shaft and it won’t work unless you put something in the middle… but it barely worked anyway…. Good one to avoid.

It did the job

I recommend this tool as it got the job done and with little effort. Yeah, I was able to remove the old bushing and installed a new one with ease. My application was a 2004R in an '86 Chevy Monte Carlo SS. I would like to give just a little advice to anyone who's considering buying this tool. Try not to use any power tools with this device; no air tools or electric impact tools. This bushing removal tool is meant to be worked by hands, it's construction supports that.

Allmost easy

The bushing removal tool did not work. The 5 hooked fingers would not stay hooked into back side on the bushing because the locking collar is too small of a diameter and the gauge of metal too thin. The bushing driver of the tool set worked fine. I’m not happy about what I spent for this tool set to not have it work.

This tool set works very well. Made the task of installing a new tailshaft bushing a cinche in my 200 4r .

Very cheaply made, would not work as should.
