Was it a regular rp or a bfrp?Stopped at Tom's yesterday as he had called for some help with the rear trailing arm bushing install.
All was good after some reciprocating press action.

Jim it was what Tom had on hand. Not my favorite but it got the job done.
Bad thing was he only had lite beer to sook my wrest and elbow with.

Tom take the beer away, James when he talks he is sluring his words!!!
Man I must have beaten the cr!@p out of those trailing arms and the two "banana bars" with the air chisel 
.
I bet I spent four hours and only got one of the eight bushings back in, so I had to "call in the calvary" (James) .
He not only showed me the right way to do it, but wielded the hammer himself. My hands are still sore just watching him pound away. Turns out I had distorted the two parallel sides where the bushing is to be pressed, so James had to whack those back into place as he sent the bushings to their final resting place.
On to the next effort, hanging the rear end back in place!
