The polyurathane ones are much easier to install.
Once you remove the trailing arms you have to push out the old ones.
you need a large vice or c- clamp. Vice is easier.
a large socket big enough to fit over bushing or plastic pipe. 1" 3/4 or 2"
can't remember.
a smaller socket to drive old bushing through.
if using plastic pipe, you will need a thick board to put across it.
trailing arm removal is explained in tr7 haynes manuel, or I would suggest
ordering TR8 manuel from the Roadster Factory, I believe they are still
available and will come in handy in the future.
