I borrowed the tool from a friend and the job wasn't that bad except:

1). we removed both trailing arms at the same time. Bad idea. You should remove, replace and install trailing arm bushings and trailing arms ONE AT A TIME. We found ourselves with a dangling rear axle that was hard to put back to together. I would say that this stupid mistake cost us 3 additional pain-in-the-ass hours.


2). The bushings have a tappered side and up-and-down side. When you install the bushing, make sure that you are pushing in the side of the bushing that has the tappered edge; ofcourse also make sure the bushing is correctly pointing down. Draw a line along the bottom of the bushing with a permanent marker so you can be sure that the bushing is correctly oriented as you are installing it.

You will need to torque the bolts to spec after the car is resting on the tires. Ramps are very helpful for this; it allows you to crawl underneath and use the torque wrench.
