Default 92-95 eg/94-01 dc2 trailing arm bushings

We all know about the pain-in-the-@$$ trailing arm bushings correct? Not only is it cheaper to buy a [Hyperfflex] bushing kit, but it's less of a strain to swap...or is it? The instructions make it seem pretty easy, and it is, to install the new bushing with two 4" washers and a well-sized bolt. The problem is i can't find a damn washer tht fat, not even in the industrial "Fastenal" hardare store, without paying $50+...
-So my question is does anyone have advice on gettin the bushings in without paying more than I did for the bushing kit itsef?

it's just under 4" but i would imagine a least a 4" cut would be needed so the bushing doesn't "cave in." problem is I don't have a press, otherwise there would be no questions hehe

They are not used in a press. They are press pieces http://www.baumtools.com/pdf/B90Kbwnew6.pdf The biggest piece I have is 4.36" if you have a bolt and nut that will fit..

I'd appreciate it, but one question, "do you have two?" Hehe, wouldn't do me much good with one 4"+ and nothing on the other side.
