I finished putting in the new bushings. The left side was pressed out and the new poly bushing in the new sleeve was pressed in. It worked well but took time and was hard work. I couldn't get the right side to budge. So once I commited to burning it out it took 5 minutes. Far faster and easier than pressing it with very little residue to remove. If I had to do it again I'd use the burn out technique. A little work with the Dremmel and it was a shiny silver sleeve. My problem now is how to align the holes of the bushing to the trailing arm. I think now that I should have done one side at a time. The axle is sitting on my jack. One of those tapered punches that steel workers use to align holes for bolts would be handy. I have some pictures I'll put up if I can figure out how to get them uploaded.
