Dioche Rear Shock Bushing Tool, Anti-Rust Rear Shock Eyelet Bushing Removal and Installation Tool with 3 Adapters for Rockshox Mountain Road and MTBs

Overall the tool is quality except for the Stainless Steel (SS) m6 100mm bolt and SS wingnut. Normally SS is awesome, but isn't necessarily the strongest for tensile nor yield strength. Like others stated, the bolt and wingnut bound-up on the first use and also the bolt bent a bit. I barely got the wingnut off while the whole time worrying about scratching the shock if I got sloppy. Finding a replacement m6 bolt at 100mm length was a challenge. The drifts are machined for precise use with an m6 bolt. Attempts to substitute a smaller diameter bolt may lead to alignment problems. My local Ace HW has 8.8 m6 100mm bolts which are stronger than the SS as well as a $6 chrome plated 12.9 m6 80mm bolt which is even stronger. AceHW also had 10.9 m6 nuts in which I bought 4. The 12.9 bolt with the 10.9 nut HW worked great, but it still got stressed a bit, but will be reusable again in the future. For removing and inserting a Fox shock 1/2" bushing - attempting to turn the wingnut without a tool is near-impossible. Using m6 nuts as an alternative with a socket is a better way to do it.Also - this tool comes with a really nice and cool bearing washer that turns between two of the other washers provided. The pics don't show this important piece of really nice HW. Make sure you use this bearing washer on the side that you are turning - which should be the side being pressed-in. The pics shown may not depict the best placement for that bearing washer.

I read some reviews that said it didn’t work all that great, the bolt bent, broke, or the nut bound. This wasn’t my experience. After messing around with sockets and bolts to remove the bushing from an x-fusion shock on my 2021 stumpjumper alloy with no success I broke down and ordered this. I can’t remember if the instructions said to use grease or where I saw it but put a little dab of grease in the wing-nut’s path. Make sure you choose the pusher (these are the red, blue or purple metal pieces) that fits the most snugly in your bushing. Set it all up, receiver on one side pusher on the other, split the washers between bolt head and wing-nut side, snug it all down. Make sure it is all lined up then use a hex key to crank the bolt. I was able to hold the wing-nut with my fingers, didn’t need a wrench to hold it. Bushing came right out. To press the bushing into the new shock ( I reused the old bushing because getting a new one was going to take too long) simply turn the receiver around so the flat side faces the shock and repeat the rest of the process. On my bike I had two metal spacers that pressed into the bushing. After experimenting I found the best way to keep everything straight and apply pressure evenly was to turn two pushers with their fat sides against the spacers and slide the bolt through them. This helped keep the bolt straight and apply even pressure. This little tool did away with a lot of frustration. Money well spent.

It's a good tool at a reasonable price. The issues other customers are having are because it comes setup backwards with no instructions. Set it up like in the photos I added and it works fine. Put a dab of grease on the threads, hold the wingnut with pliers, and turn the bolt with a 5mm allen wrench. Ideally, replace the wingnut with a hex nut so you could use a boxend wrench instead of pliers.

Overall, not too bad for the price. One important note like other reviews have mentioned is that it is to hard to turn the stock buttefly-looking flare nut during the pressing or extraction procedures. It is best to replace it with a standard hex nut and use a deep socket to turn it instead. Besides that it worked fine on both a fox du with 12.5mm or an older manitou du bushing with 12.0mm.

As you can see this is a very simple tool, but the price is right and for home use, this is just fine to push bushings in and out of MTB shocks.

The different size bushing inserts fit the bushings very well and seem to be made well. However, the bolt that comes with this bushing press assembly is very low quality. The threads stripped on the very first use. If you’re looking for a cheap bushing press I would still recommend this, but you’ll need to spend the money to buy a higher quality bolt to use with it.

Sorta works, but the bolt snapped on first use. Thankfully it pushed the bushing far enough out that I could finish the job with a vise.

You have to take care with the screw or just replace for a better one but works very well, my life is more easy now

This product has pluses and minuses....The drifts are nicely machined and the one I used fit perfectly.The down side is that the threaded shaft and wing nut are crap. The wing nut threads started to strip and then bound up as soon as there was pressure from removing the bushing, and then when I tried to unthread it the rod snapped, all on th first use. Not cool. Luckily I have a vice and used it to press the bushing out with the drifts.

Nice idea, but the screw is not even close to appropriate for the forces involved with installing this bushing. Consider it a one time use and be prepared to saw the bolt... Messy and feels dangerous with regards to damaging the shock. If you have a bench vice, you can use that and these pieces. The fittings are solid and well cut. I ended up just talking my shock to a bike shop. The bolt they use is MASSIVE.

This thing is awesome. Brilliant in its simplicity yet super easy to use and effective. Would definitely recommend.

The punches are of good quality however the bolt and wing nut are not. The setup pushed out the spacers with ease, however on the second bushing the threads on the bolt failed and started to round off. Bolt and wing nut are not made for this type of stress.

really good quality especially for the low price.I changed the wing nut out for a m6 nut to make it easier to remove the du bushing
