Lol well this explains allot.. I removed the inner rubber but not the outer metal sleeve.. no wonder I can't get the new in.

Great video, thanks for posting!!!!
I don't own a press, So I'm using the burn and cut method to remove the old bushings. Looks like I might need to find a local shop to install the new ones. I'll see if my 6" bench vice can handle it before engaging a shop :)

I do have a small press used for bending pipes, I believe to be a 6 tons hydraulic unit, Seen that yours is 30 tons, would you think mine would do the job just fine? I would like to have this clear before I start taking them arms off the vehicle, thanx a lot for the video, super informative.

Hey mate did you end up fitting these arms back into the car?
When i try to re install arm into the mount on the car it hits a little re-inforcing plate on the inside of the mount. Did you come across this at all? If so how did you rectify?
Cheers

I just ordered new trailing arms and bushings from volvo for my 240. Need someone to put the large ones on for me. No one has the tool though

Those trailing arms have seen better days.seems like a waste of $$ to use polyurethane bushings in rusted components
