tension strut bushings

I ordered bushings
I ordered the CTA tool that proclaims to let me do them in situ on the car.

Who's used the fancy tool and has some pro tips?
there be zero instructions. I have not looked in ISTA to see if the CTA tol is the same as the factory, or if there was even a factory equivalent.

lemforder bushes of course.

I read they may be tapered and I have to make sure to push from the appropriate side. True? Accounts vary.
I will measure the new ones when they get here with caliper.
but stil waiting on shipping.


also, who needs the fancy tool when I'm done? Shame to leave it sit after I use it the one time.
