I used a liberal amount of the supplied grease on the urethane bushings inner, and outer sleeves.the urethane bushings slid into the trailing arms with little more than a rubber mallet and a few hard smacks for me. I also pried the mounts apart a little and coated the sides with lithium grease to make the installation a little easier. The urethane bushings seemed a touch wider than the original rubber, and they really resist being beat into place.

Thanks for the tips! I'm hoping to keep the arms where they are so hopefully won't have to use the vice. I'll lube them up well. Kind of a good general rule !
