A 2" almost is too big for the knuckle but works as long as you line it up straight

I tried but it just broke threw the hole saw, ended up just undoing the lower control arm bolt and lifting the bracket up to get a ball joint press on it

Hmm did you use a high quality hole saw? My hole saw didn't even bend, only the washer behind it.

Mustang drag challenge
I bought a small gear puller since any project is good excuse to buy a new tool. Thanks OP for the idea. Then I buy my outer TA bushings from Apex Chase. Great service bythe way. Then on a pleasant Sunday afternoon I decide to do the deed.
So I pull the driver's side tire and carefully set up the jack stand. (I hate jack stands.) I get the outer TA nut off (its on the side facing the front of the car) and carefull tap out the outer TA bolt. BUT head of the bolt hits the stock lower control arm before it comes all the way out. I try putting a load on the axle with the floor jack but no help. So I put the whole thing back together. I see no way to do this without lowering the LCA too. Is this needed? Or am I doing something wrong? My local Camaro club has a Mustang challenge coming up at the drags and I still have wheelhop. How will I represent?

Here is another illustration that may help you guys with some ideas on how to remove that bushing. It's really not too tricky with the proper tools, and definitely worth the time to replace the factory rubber bushing!
