FYI:
I used a gear puller (had one in the tool box) and it went by
the numbers. Just
twist on that thing and the old bushings pop out like a baby during
labor, and the
new ones pop in like.... well let's just say the whole job was pretty
simple.
An alternative to dropping them off at the mechanic's....
Cheers,
Vance

Mike,
Bring the trailing arms to the mechcanic, he'll use a press to get them
out, About 40 bucks, then If you are getting the two part urathane kind,
you can do those yourself. The 1 part rubber will be aother trip to the
mechcanic to press the new ones in.
Of course you can pound them, drill them, use the oversize socket
method, get a 2 ton press to drive them out, or buy a hydrolic hand
operated press etc. and just get aggravated at doing this pain in the
*&^ thing.
I did method one, On the way to work I dropped them off, on the way home
I picked them up. Then I used uprated Urathane. The process for me was
painless.
