Bilstein Strut Housing: Internal Bushing Replacement

[safe]

What kind of grease is that?
I need to replace this bushing in a set of 924 struts, but I can't find any bushings, where did you get them?

I ordered a set of these bushings from Motion. They would not sell me 4, so I bought 12. I have a couple feelers out to friends who may need the same service. If they don't, I'll have two sets available for sale/install if anyone is interested.

The hardest part was getting the old ones out. Need a really secure table with a vise or a shop press.

I welded up a few tools to make removal easier. Took about 2 hours total to do both.

Grease wise, I couldn't find a definate answer. I don't think its overly important as to type, because the bearing is teflon lined. Technically, the manufacture states there is no grease needed on the bearing surface.

Fantastic thread thanks all. Very helpful.

so I was going to post a question to the OP, but it seems he hasn't been around for a couple o yrs.
I though I might try to DIY the R&R of the bushings but although his thread is pretty thorough I am missing a couple of details
particularly how to access the bottom bush
The tools are pretty straight forward but if the lower bush is intended to be pressed to the bottom of the bore how do you get the the disc with relief notches below it so as to press it out?
