4.1. Bush removal refer to g.1
4.1.1. The bush is designed so it can only be removed from one direction. on the side of the vehicle that requires the bush to be replaced,
remove trailing arm mounting bolt from carrier and manoeuvre trailing arm to give clearance from the carrier, so there is enough room
to use the bush removal tool. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s service instructions, or a proprietary manual, to establish the correct
procedure.

advised to mark the housing and bush with a suitable marker so alignment can be referred to for installation.
