OKAY REAL QUICK-LIKE NOT TO TAKE UP TOO MUCH TIME WITH REDUNDANT DISCUSSION:

I "think" my TABs are shot, because my car is 23 years old and has about 212,000 miles on her, and the rear end sags like an old lady's you-know-what. I haven't removed the TA to get to see them but yeah, no reason to think they've survived this long. I have new rubber bushings, i want them in, and i want them in last week. I don't own a grinder, i probably can borrow a drill and a blowtorch, i have a hammer, i can buy some clamps and hacksaws and hole saws and other simple tools. Can i do this job without the homemade TAB tool (can't make it cuz of no grinder) and without the Volvo special tool? this is all i need to know. I've searched the boards but the only DIY method that is free of the special tools involves the hole saw but retaining the shell of the original TAB and then (hammering? not clear) pushing in the urethane bushing in its place. can you do that with rubber?

okay thanks for your advice! happy weekend
