Trailing Arms

And here is what the tool looks like to install the bushings.

Here you can see the bushing do not fit because I was stupid and
left the sleeve in the bushing

Removing the old bushings using the Home Depot tool

Well after fighting with the subframe bushings I moved on to the trailing arms.
To pull the trailing arm bushings out i made a simple tool that cost me five bucks at home depot, consisting of a threaded rod a couple of nuts and washers.
Also as a tip if you ever tackle this job make sure to remove the metal sleeve from the bushing first as it makes the job much easier. I first tried it with the sleeve and the bushing started to deform instead of going in.
