This OTC slide hammer puller got mine out. Took a few tries. Really had to crank down on it to get it tight, and then whale on the slide.

 

yea it's on order. Ended up getting it out

 

My bushing should arrive tomorrow.

I installed the ECGS bushing today. I’ll post some thoughts & pics in the next few days.

Did you have any issues that caused you to replace this? Or did you see it just as a maintenance item?

My driver’s side CV joint had a significant amount of play. Although I installed a new set of Toyota remanufactured CV axles last year, the front diff still has 454,000 miles on it.

With the ECGS bushing in place, there is zero play at the inboard CV joint. The next day I put 400+ miles on it, 30 of which were driving on the beach. No issues.
