3+ yrs ago +, but,... one can just cut the rubber bushing at the bottom area with a hacksaw blade around 5-6 O'clock, and the metal as well carefully about 3/4 -1" wide, (if it would be in the car - otherwise anywhere)then pry the 1" piece out which will release the tension of the metal ring and the metal ring will just come right out with a bit of light hammering if it is not rusted in. Clean up the area, freeze the new bushing, chamfer the edges of the bushing that will go in first and things should go together fairly easily. Clever tool though for the bushing removal that way.
Thats a similar way I thought doing it too, but then I rather bouth the proper tool on the used maked for 40€ and after using it I will sell it again(literally not loosing any money or just a little, because of the shipping). So if you have a chance getting a tool cheaply and resell it back again. I would not go this path. Only if you have no other options at all, this is the last option left ;)
Pause @ 0:14 - Since you don't need the "Old Part"... Use a hack saw and cut it off. If you cut about 1 Inch "SLANT", it will release the pressure and with a big screw drive and a hammer... My Dad and I was able to get it out easily with a few knocks. For the "New Part", put it in the freezer for 2 days.... Bring it out and knock it in with a Hammer. About 8 Blows..., the New Part went right in.
This is a few minutes job by using a ball peen hammer and hitting it out. When the trailing arm is unhooked, as in this case and what everyone is trying to avoid, you don't need fancy tools to get the bushing out. Your job is DONE. It takes no more than 10 swingings of the hammer to get bushing out, sometimes less. When you might need this tool is when the arm is partially unhooked and it seems difficult to get bushing out, but a hammer job this time could take a little longer. Much less if you are hitting it from the inner side of the arm. The bitch is getting the arm off and then on. That's the job nobody wants to do.
Me and my Dad CUT it off... We cut about 1 inch "SLANT" each side, this will release the pressure holding it. We use a large screw drive and a hammer, few knocks... It popped right out. Freeze the new part and then knock it back in with a hammer.
Heheheheheheehehe…. I guess he NEVER thought of it! That is what we did... Since we no longer needed the old part.... We CUT 2 slices, then use a screw driver to knock it out. If you cut it 1 Inch " slant" inward..... It release the tension and pop right out!

Wish it worked to put stock style bushings IN.

THAT'S DIY!
Why did the new bushing not have the bolt holes
5TRYD4 you have to install the metal with bolt holes separately
nice.
please, exact model or link of new bushing.
LoseJuis i just searched the model of my car and it was a perfect fit.
