thats so easy, 15 min per side.thats so easy, about 15 min per side. No need to disconnect brake parts such as calipers, rotors,brake shoes, brake fluid lines and emergency brake cables.

step 1 rent this from advance or autozone



step 2: do it yourself


step 3: thank me for saving you a fortune.

do not use that tool^^^!!!!!!! it has proven to damage the rear trailing arms. the rear trailing arms are taper to be small towards the inside of the vehicle. if you press the bushing threw to that side it will distort the rear trailing arm. the bushing needs to be taken out towards the outside of the vehicle.
