Trailing arm outer bushing removal question?
I'm attempting to remove the outer trailing arm bushings but I can't figure out how to get the 2 prong puller on the bushing because the lower control arm is in the way. I removed the bolt and can raise the hub assembly but then I noticed that the rotor/shield will prevent the bushing from coming out in that direction. Do I need to remove the rotor/shield also? How is this done properly? Thanks!

Nice. I hadn't even thought about doing it like that. I may do it tomorrow.

Yup, that's exactly how I did mine! It sounds harder than it actually is!

There is an easier way. Take a tire bar and a 1/4 drive socket. Pry against the control arm bolt in the hub against the socket / trailing arm bush. It is out in seconds. That technique may be best left to the Pedders professionals Your method is creative and worked well!
