I know that the ID and width are the same, how about the OD? Have any of you done it? The busing on my 5e is shot to hell and I can get a Fox bushing much faster.
Thanks.

I also think they are the same.
Aside from CTS, Stratos also makes a tool for install/removal and they sell the bushings themselves.

then go to the MTB section and then products, shock accessories...

$40/tool
$5ea/DU.

but the beauty of the CTS you do NOT need a vice!!

I think the 5th tool is available cheaper then that. No vice needed, its a long threaded shaft with 2 nuts on it, and a spacer for your DUs. You could make one for like $10

I have done it a couple times each on 2 different 5'ths, both on Bullits. No problems at all. My LBS keeps the Fox ones in stock also making it real quick to replace when needed.

Never occured to me you could use that for DU installation! Thanks, Transcend

Thanks. I've changed probably at least 100 DU bushings on Fox shock using a vise, so I'll stick with that method. I also have a press that works well for putting them back in. My former shop stocks Fox DU bushings, so I'll just pick them up there.

Thanks again for the replies.
