Default anyone replaced rear trailing arm bushings with ball joint tool from autozone/advance auto

i just replaced my lower ball joints yesterday using this universal tool. some of the cups look to be the right size for the rear trailing arm bushing. anyone know if it works right?

the outter shell is about 3" in diameter. I just bought the SP Tools/schely tool honda bushing x-tractor, its the only way to go in my opinion.

the ball joint tool from autozone doesn't have large enough cups to do the rear trailing arm bushing.

Many people will use that tool and then re-sell it. Try to find one used, use it, and then you can probably re-sell it to someone else for the same price you bought it for.
