In process of rebuilding my 1966 rear trailing arms and need the tools for removing trailing arm spindle axle bearing. Need set up tool for installing spindle bearings, tool for install trialing arm front bushings

You can do it yourself with the right tools of course, but a bit of advice sir. I took mine to a shop and they installed the bearings correctly for $75 plus the cost of the bearings. Just an FYI.

Agreed.............a good shop will beadblast them and install them right,no hassle,isn't enough nut bustin' takin that stuff apart"?

I do most all of my own work, engines, trans, differentials, etc.... I like acquiring new tools just as much as the next guy but I farmed my 71 trailing arms out to Bairs and never looked back. They came back with new bushings, paint, bearings, spindles and riveted on hubs. The runout came in well below spec. $$ well spent in my opinion.

If you want to have a go at it (and someday I will also....) several vendors have the necessary tools. Supporting vendor Wilcox does and a google search will turn up many others.
