ABSTRACT:
A bushing driver includes a first body and a second body. The first body has a first end and a second end. A new bushing interface is positioned adjacent the first end of the first body. An anvil is positioned at the second end of the first body. The second body has a first end and a second end. A worn bushing interface is positioned adjacent to the first end of the second body. A coupling is provided for detachably coupling the second end of the second body to the first end of the first body, with the worn bushing interface axially aligned with the new bushing interface. As a worn bushing is driven out by the worn bushing interface on the second body, a new bushing positioned on the new bushing interface is concurrently driven into the space vacated by the worn bushing.
