The tool is extremely good value for money however a few tweeks I will suggest.
The installation tool used on a Fabia 1 on the nearside (LH) is without fault, however on the OS (RH) the chassis member fouls the installation plug, this can be overcome easily by grinding a champer on the edge about 40mm long by 6mm at its deepest. This allows the tool to be centered snugly against the old bush to be pulled out, and saves console removal or being lowered.
The removal tool works fine however great care need to be taken to centre the tool acculturate, I have used A N Others tools of much greater expense I might add and the sit nicely without a need to be tool accurate, this one will need care to make sure it pulls directly in line with the central axis of the bush, at first I cursed the dolly for not sitting well, however after removing and taking a second look I found the fault was mine, in that it will only sit well in one particular place, I did not attempt to pull the bush off center however this could happen if no effort is made to make sure the units are accurately aligned.
I made a comment about the quality, in part this is not a generous evaluation as the tool is made well for the cost, my observation relates to the pulling die and the need to be very careful when aligning the tool onto the console frame. In short I would purchase again.

Fiddly but works well

Worked a treat on skoda fabia mk1 rear suspension bushes which are nearly 20 old!
Only thing you need to be careful of is making sure the bushes are aligned correctly before installing. This isnt as easy as it sounds once your under the car, fiddling to install the tool and hold the bush at the right angle all at the same time.Read full review

Great tool

Worked perfectly, and very well made. Needed a slight modification with a dremel to fit Skoda Fabia (2004) literally took a small shaving of metal off the cup part of tool so it fit.

Good quality tool, one hint is to grease the thread and nut bearings before use!
