Got to replace a couple of bushes in the rear linkage of my 2011 Stumpjumper and wondered if anyone had a recommendation for a removal tool?
Looked at a few old threads and this seems to be an emotive issue for some reason...

Mine was £6-7 off eBay a few years ago. It's simple & effective and a quick search shows there are still a few similar ones on there today.
You guys on about the same thing as OP?
Pretty sure they are talking about shock bush tools. Well worth buying but not sure if that is what the OP needs. Do you mean the shock bush or linkage bearings?You guys on about the same thing as OP?
There are a few specialist bearing pullers for linkage bearings or you can bodge something with an anchor bolt. I've always managed to get to the back of mine and drift them out, not sure what the arrangement is on a 2011 Stumpjumper
is this the kind of thing then
