DIY Rear Trailing Arm Bushing

[chet baker]

hope this will help someone , pretty easy to do

Start off by jacking up your car


Remove Wheel

Remove The 12mm Bolt Holding the E Brake Cable to gain access to the 17 mm bolts.

Remove the 14mm Bolt

Forgot to Take a pic, but there is one more bolt holding the trailing arm to the body you need to remove. Once you remove that Find a spacer of some sort to keep the trailing arm down.

Now here is the tool

Use some white out and mark the spots so you install it back in correctly.
Strap the baby on

Bushing will pop out pretty easy.

Align up the new bushing and press it in. it should stick out about 12mm (this is how much the oem bushing was sticking out)

Bolt everything back together and you should be set.

now go out and try it

where do i get the tool??

 

[CIVICHB98]

The tool go's for $112 on Ebay. I got the catalog of the company that sells it as well.

I also need to replace my bushing, but to spend $112 for just to remove two bushing and to never use the tool again really sucks for that price.

This is the company that makes it ~~~~> sptool.com

Getting the old bush out was the hard part for me.

Yeah very usefull make it a sticky. When doing these in the past I used to completely remove the trail arm and use a hydraulic bench press it was a right pain in the ass. This tool would make life alot easier. Get that link up for buying them, I wonder could a group buy be possible?
