Maybe this has been said before, but don't think you are being clever by forcing the old bushings out with a bottle jack between the arms.... I could not get my bushings out for the life of me. I probably should have just left them in there but I figured the entire car is apart, let's change them. I tried the double-nut all thread method and got 1 out, but I broke about 9' of all thread trying to get the other three a$$hole bushings out. So I thought I was being smart and pushed them out with a bottle jack. I guess I didn't know the trailing arms were so weak. I went to re-mount them and the left one won't line up with the pad on the subframe by 3". So now I get to spend a couple hundred dollars on a new trailing arm and start the whole process over again :(
I guess I will burn out the old ones next time?
