My rear trailing arm bushings are shot. I've got new Prothane bushings that I need to get pressed in place of the old ones but can't find anyone who has a damn bushing extractor either for rent or to do it with for me. They cost around $175 to buy but I can't see paying that for a tool I'm probably not going to be using too often.

If anyone knows of a reputable shop that can handle this or a place that will rent me the tool, your help would be greatly appreciated. I'm in N.N. btw.

Thanks for the help, I'm kinda lookin for some place local and I'm tryin to do it without having to remove the whole trailing arm. I was thinkin about using one of those balljoint presses you can rent at autozone or something. I have access to a shop and a shop press but it's open on odd days and really not trying to remove this thing if at all possible.

Burn it out. There is a few walkthroughs online bout how to get it out also.

Is the prothane bushing energy suspension??? should come with instruction. I used a sharp screw driver,hack saw,hammer,razer knife and very long bolt with big ass washer and nut to press in the new one. Also u post to use the old metal shell of the trailing bush...

Yup. Torching is the way to go if you don't have access to a press.

Yep, these are the prothane but there is no need for me to reuse the old metal sleeve because these bushings come with a new one already on them. With that being said, I don't know that torching would be the easiest way for me. I think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and remove the damn trailing arms and get em pressed out. Thanks for all the help.

pix of the bushing will help alot...energy suspension that use the oem sleeve is very easy to install then the one with new sleeves good luck tho

You have to use the sleeve if it for a da integra trailing arm because its a larger diameter hole
