Rear suspension alignment
Decided to have a go at adjusting the toe in on the rear wheels. Mannaged to loosen the nut and remove the outer shims from the front trailing arm bushings. Problem now is I can not remove the inner shims.
So question is how to remove the inner shims and is the bushing surpose to move along the bolt, the artical I have suggests it should

I was going to say loosen the the bolt and play with the camber,,loll but if you allready removed shims on one side, the other side should be loose. Maybe using a pry bar to try slipping the bushing on the bolt to the opposit side..Hope I'm not confusing you,,something is holding them in there... good luck

if it has been a while since the trailing arm has been out, if it ever has been, the bushing is probably rusted to the bolt. You can try some penetrating oil and a prybar to see if it breaks loose or you might be cutting them out and replacing the bolts/bushings...how badly do you need to adjust your rear toe?
get some new stainless ones on order and change em out.

Had a new diff and housing put in it and as a result have been chewing out the back tires. Thought it was the camber, but oh no it's not !!!
As a reslt come hell or high water the shims will be coming out.
Thanks for suggestions, haven't tried prybar yet.
