Did you mark the position of the trailing arm bracket and bolts before removing it, so you could get the toe alignment as close as possible to what it was before the repair?
I did this to one of my control arms today (before watching the vid) and man I struggled hard. That thing sat in there even tighter than the subframe bushings. Ended up drilling it and then cutting a grove. Not the best method. I’ll try the air hammer trick on the other one - that was a smart idea

great video, what size socket did you use to push out the bushing?
Same process for both sides?
What is up with all the rust, looks like my 72 Beetle?
It’s an old car probably is driven in winter , you don’t need to be too smart to know that
hi is a video available for lower controlarm inner bushing?
thanks
