if u mean the tca outer bush where the arb goes in u need a bit of grease and a big press. tho the poly bushes come in two bits so at a guess cut them in half then just put them in and push the arb through.

I fitted one before. Using a combo of:

 

TCA in a vice.

Screw driver with the end cut off

Fairy Liquid (Oil doesn't do the rubber any good apparently)

Large amount of swearing

 

When I needed to replace one on my current car, it became the sole reason I moved to poly bushes.... 3 hours? 3 seconds more like!

Do a cheaper, cheerful version of the more expensive versions.

maybe poly somethin to think about in the future, at the mo I've got the arm on my kitchen table as I was getting cold ouside tryin to make it fit! apparently somewhere local has a complete arm with standard bushes already in place. might be the more practical so I can get it back on the road tomorrow!

use moisturiser to lube it up mate it works really well and squish them together in the vice

Nut and bolt and big washers either side tighten them together, sorted

just buy poly bushes...you will only end up having to change them again in a few years time

He's got a point

[razersedge]

what about using a cortina void bush removing tool

[Twinkle]

just but a pair of new tca's bout £30 a pair

ok new arm and new bearing and its sorted it out! untill i brake whilst turning right but also notice it veers left if braking hard whilst goin straight. so would that be a dodgy drivers side calliper?

[SmokeEm]

I had the same troubles you had & mine turned out to be tracking, not brake related. Check it 1st. Should be 1.5mm toe in ideally

the oldskool bushes are too much hassle get yourself a poly bush in two halves no sweat

[m1c]

new arm in and tracking done. was better for first couple of days but now does it again! but since tracking done it brakes in a straight line its just the juddering on corners. open for more suggestions!
