Surprisingly I couldn't find a reputable machine shop close by, so I ended up buying press and pull tool for bushes, I removed the old sway bar link that came with the control and got it ready to press new bushings.

While I wait for the tool to arrive, I have a whole lot of work related to the turbos that I haven't had the chance to finish up.

I plan on removing the manifolds to get them ceramic coated and the following;

Coolant Y connection
Oil return lines and return cover
Clean up the entire area
Spark plugs

Coolant Y connection was brittle and broke as soon as I tried to move out of the way a little.

Bought a replacement hose that came with a plastic Y connection and I replaced it with a stainless steel one. Thank Dawgz for helping out.
