US Patent 12134171 On-vehicle track bar bushing removal tool for trucks

A bushing removal tool for track bars on trucks. A male cup defines a seat adapted to contain the head of a bolt. The male inner end conforms substantially to the shape of a bushing such that it can cup the bushing. A female cup seats against the end of the track bar thus having a diameter greater than male inner end and adapted to provide a cup force axially in the positive direction against the track end. A ball bearing assembly seats within the female cup. A nut downstream of the ball bearing abuts the outer surface of the ball bearing attached to a threaded end of the rod end of the bolt, wherein upon rotation/operation of the nut, a pulling force of the bolt is applied to thereby pull out the bushing from the track bar end.
