Sorry no time to search trying to do rear disc swap and kw coilovers in one night. will post pics when done. I need to know to put the rear trailing arm bushings in do you have to cut out the ring on the rear trailing arm or do you slide the new bushings in.
Thanks in advance

I've done it with a BFH, a big chisel, bolt, or drift, and some short chunks of 2x4. Pull the rear trailing arms. Stack up enough chunks of 2x4 on both sides of the bushing to hold the arm off the ground, outside down. Be sure you note which end of the bushing is to the outside, and how far it is pressed into the arm. Put the chisel or bolt or steel drift whatever you're using against the inner ring on the bushing, and whale away, beings sure to work all arond the outside of the ring so it stays straight. With a little luck the bushing will come out. Flip the arm over and install the new bushing by first bashing gently with the BFH, and then the chisel, etc. once again working all around the outside so it goes in straight, and being real sure to get it aligned properly.

Or, you could take it to a shop that has a press and let them do it.

This has always worked for me, but it is pretty shade-tree.

depends on what rear trailing arm bushings you ordered and what rear trailing arms your using...

i used the honda recall 88-00 civic bushing on my 91 crx si, and it worked without having to cut out the collar...

apparently the mugen and the oem honda one are the same...

with the integra rear trailing arm, you have to reuse that collar from it and press it onto the civic bushing, then put it into the rear trailing arm...
