Front lower control arm bushings W126

Trying to find an installation tool for Front lower control arm bushings. KTC Tools has some nice tools and actually lists a tool, but it is Out of Stock . I also have read that this tool MBZ2006 may NOT be for the Front arm but rather the front bushing of the REAR arm ?? Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for quick response. Did you apply that tool to a W126 ?? Looks like you may have a different model...S320 ? According to the info. I have come across , the tools vary ever so slightly from each specific model.

I've used threaded rod, washers and a socket to install w126 control arm bushings. I've rebuilt many front ends using this method.

Could you provide a little more detail on your process? The second end cap seems to be the hardest part. Do you press on the center part and outside ring
simultaneously ? What size socket?

Having an issue with second end cap ballooning when trying to install.
