We make no money on them so we do not want to sell them to everyone.
I am in travel mode the next 2 weeks. I have a Justice Package and a Track system to do on 2 Camaros locally. I will be taking a million pictures and documenting the builds. And from these pictures, will make or update a ton of install manual. I will be glad to post and do first the rear diff mount bushings, first so all of you that said it cannot work can be done or impossible can see how Pedders gets things done in an efficient manner.

Yes, I can see the tool working IF you cut the flange off the oem bushing with a sawzall first, but your instructions (that you posted) did not say anything about cutting off the flange.
As far as 1 hour, never, unless you have 4 guys on it, that have done it before. It will take that long to get it up on stands and to remove the exhaust system. You are probably exaggerating the time to say it is easy. But guys on this forum that DIY don't want exaggerations. They want realistic times that can be achieved by the average guy in his garage, that has never done it before. Sure once you do a couple of them you can usually cut the time in half. But how many of us will ever do it more than once? So give us REAL times. Bring in someone that is mechanically inclined, give him some good directions(for the Camaro, not a G8), jack stands, floor jack, and normal hand tools and see how long it takes to do ONE kit. Not 2 kits or 3 kits. That will be a realistic install time.
