Looking to buy a tool to remove the rear differential bushings on my 2010 SS. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I don't think there is a specified tool most people use a hole saw to get most of the bushing out an a recip saw to get the bushing shell out...

Seen a lot of different tools online but none will work for me. phastekperformance was selling one specially for the 5th gen but discontinued them last year. With luck I'll find a tool so I won't have to drop the Diff, If not I'll take it down and take em out like you said. Thanks bud!!

Cincinnati Speed made the original ones for $150. I think that is what Phasetek was selling. The trick is the plate that pushes the bushing has to be just smaller than the ID of the bushing casing and fit over the aluminum hub. I tried to make one but ended up doing it the hard way (hammer and chisel). Some guys say you can work it out with a good air hammer, but I know my air hammer would not have been up to the task.

I would think Snap-on or MAC make one by now if you really want to use one.
