I sent you the video of the repair. Based on this here is how I would proceed. Order both bushings, needed nuts, special washer (if needed) and bolt and the trailing arm. Cut the arms off both ends of the bolt. Cut the trailing arm off at the inside end. Pry off the pieces if they are stuck. I think...

I have that kit, I bought it from a guy off Craigslist. He bought it off eBay if I recall. The kit works well, but for your application you may be able to use one of the cups for the outside only. To be honest you can use a piece from the plumbing section, a suitable size 1/4" steel plate with ...

I’ll take a picture of my bearing kit and send , tell if you think it could work. I might be in Boston this week ( seems strange !) too,

I’ll ping you on cell , too

in boston you can try autozone for their free rental tools, i did my truck wheel bearings with their press.

There is a lot of blind faith in torque values for parts, when Un calibrated and proofed torque wrenches, technique, and 25% varia...

I have an issue aligning the engine and subframe when installing the repaired rack. The rack with new hydraulic lines is in position and loosely bolted to the subframe, the power steering pump supply/return lines are reattached, and the rear engine mount is in place with the top threaded fitting lo...

Put the big 17 mm head bolts into the right engine mount and install hand loose so there is some play The top torque mount should be out or at least loose, same as the bottom , loose is good. You wil l need to pry the engine forward to get that last 13 mm forward to get the two M10 bolts in, lots of...
