Default Trailing Arm Bushing install

Anyone out there know of someone on the eastern shore of Maryland or the Annapolis area of maryland that can install the front trailing arm bushings? I have removed the old already and have the new bushings. The couple of places i found want to put there kids thru Harvard for what they want to charge just to flare a sleeve.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I'm not sure if they can even do this for you or not. But give them a shot. Maybe they know someone else.

I made my own flare tool. once made it took all of 15 minutes to flare the bushings on both TA's. I wanted to add a cpl of pics but I'm new on here and can't figure it out yet.
