The bushings are available.

I now have the tools from Craig. If you want to ship the stripped struts to TX I can replace the bushings for you. PM or email for details.
Thanks, Craig mentioned you had the tools now. What can you tell me about the bushing size? Have you sourced the longer DU brand bushings?
I did find a guy locally that has replaced these, but it's been a long time and he has no idea of what happened to the tool he made. He's a machinist and mentioned using a reamer in his mill as an option for removal.
I am doing a full front refresh with rebel racing bushings. I still need to take it all apart, so it'll be a while.
I'll send you a message JP when I'm ready.
