Amazing kit… Removing the old bushing is the only problem

The only problem you will have is removing the old brass bushing (although that is by no means the case with this kit). You can use a drawing tool if you already have one or don't want to spend money, but brass is a soft metal. You can just use a rotary tool (Dremel) or CAREFULLY use an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel. I didn't know removing the old bushing would be such a problem and I didn't have either of those things (I recently broke my Dremel and couldn't find a cutting disc for my angle grinder) and I didn't have any I don't know that I have them needed before starting the installation. The nearest town is 30 minutes away and to be honest it was a long day at work and I was tired. I used an old hacksaw to cut the bushing off. Awesome, but it worked. Installing the new lever was as simple as attaching it, tightening the new nut, snapping the cap and snapping the blade. Seems to be working fine so far. I don't fully trust the blade that comes with this set but it should be fine for a while and I'll probably put in new blades soon to be nearly as worn. The tool that comes with this set was a huge benefit for me as I am DEFINITELY trying to find the right wrench or socket. If you need such a kit, look no further and buy this one.
