Vette Brakes T-Arm Bushing Kit
Has anyone used the VB Trailing Arm Bushing Kit? Catalog says the "poly bushings can be installed without removing the arms from the car" Kit includes a flaring tool. Except for the obvious (and difficult) task of getting the arm out of the frame the rest sounds easier than dis-assembly of axle shaft etc.

Re: Vette Brakes T-Arm Bushing Kit (vett79)
You are misreading something.
You will have to take the trailing arms out to install bushings. You do not have to take a bearings apart to put the bushings in.

Re: Vette Brakes T-Arm Bushing Kit (trw)
i purchased this kit from Vette Brakes about 5 years ago and this was fairly easy to install, except for fighting the bolt and the cavity it's in, i took my T-arms out since i was re-painting them. i don't think you can do this without taking the T-arm assembly off the car,and afterwards you'll need the rear end aligned.
