Default Rear Bushings

I have an 89 CRX SI that I am doing a 90 Teg rear disc swap on. How do you get the original Bushing out and then get the center metal peg off that you reuse,, The Energy Suspention has you reuse it? Or can you buy a new Center peg? Also how much of the old do you remover or cut out? Any feed back would be great.
First option: Energy Suspension how easy is this option?

Second Option Prothane, Has anyone used them? They look to small to fit in...

Dude witch bushing are you talking about? The tralling arm bushing? Just get the mugen ones. You could ask why but you could also just search and find the answer your self. If your talking about a diffrent bushing then be more specific. As for removal see hydraulic press.

On my old CRX I replaced the rear TA bushings with ES bushings. With your rear trailing arms removed, simply cut out the old rubber bushing material, and scrape off any little bits that are remaining. PRess the new poly bushings in. Piece of cake.

But like he said above, solid poly bushing RTA replacements WILL reduce the ability of your suspsension to move freely according to it's geometry, which is known as binding. However, this is not a major hinderance for many applications. So if you're just driving on the street you won't notice any negative difference, except for it being stiffer in the rear.
