Use a jaw puller on lower engine mount bushing

I just changed the lower engine mount bushing on my F55 and wanted to share a tip that I haven't seen posted yet. Use a jaw puller to push out the old bushing.

The tutorials I've seen pretty much alluded to just muscling it out with brute strength or cutting at it until its in enough pieces to come out. Both of these methods are a lot more work than just using a jaw puller. I had my old bushing out in about 2 minutes using jaw puller. Pictures below. I used a loaner one from Autozone, but jaw pullers are pretty readily available from autoparts stores and Home Depots.

The jaw puller I borrowed from Autozone. A smaller one would have been easier to work with, but this worked fine.

Was just researching this and happened upon this thread. Good to know! Also how do you like the JackPoints?

The Jackpoints are great, super sturdy and easy to use. Although for this job some ramps would have probably been fine.
