[Mg-t] Rear Shock bush replacment

[John Seim]

A small 1/4" drive socket. The tapered guide just enlarges slightly the rubber
bush,
allowing the round bar of the shock link to pass through.
Try using with some WD-40 or lacquer thinner as a lubricant.
Lacquer thinner will evaporate quickly, so might be the better choice.
