Greg, Mark's advise is correct, been there, done that and it works very
well! You can use the same method for removal of the old rubber bushings as
well, just use washers on one end that are small enough to go through the
end of the trailing arm and large enough to pull the old bushing out as you
pull it through with the nut on the opposite end.

Subject: [6pack] installing rubber suspension bushings
To All,
Today, a few local Triumph club members got together to install some
suspension parts onto a new RatcoTR6 frame. We were trying to install hard
rubber bushings into the rear trailing arms and the lower front "A" arms.
Long story short, it did not go well. I'm looking for advice as to how
others have accomplished this task. I'm not looking for responses telling us
we should have used the two piece polyurethane bushings.
