Craig,
This is the outer bushing for the spring link on rear suspension (aka
lower control arm). The bushing is actually pressed into the wheel
carrier, not the spring link;
bushing of the LCA aka spring link.

Go to eBay and look at what el paso tool has. Baum sells them out of the
back door, and many still have the Baum logo.
I scored a (serpentine) fan pulley/clutch counterhold for $30. I know
the official one is much more expensive.

Yesterday I took some time to look at the spring link bushing job. I've got to
do this on my '95 E300, and soon also on my '87 300TD, so I'm thinking hard
about investing in the special tool. Wish I could find one made in china...
just kidding Mao and all the
is less than half the cost of the
factory tool.

Is Sir Tools made in China? This tool is less

proficient machinist would only need about 15 to 30 minutes.

I suspect that those tools are hardened - you'd need a precision grinder
instead of a lathe, or beable to harden mild steel after you turned them on
the lathe.
If you buy ST extractor, I'll buy it after you use it for 50% ---
