Good tip Chris! I was able to use that trick you described on the right side, but on the left it isn't working as well. Maybe it's just that my fingers were cold as I was working, it was real cold in the garage last weekend (Colorado). But I'll be giving it another go, and if just the washers and all-thread don't work I'm going to cut a section out of the old bushings to use those to squeeze the new bushings and fit them in.
Interesting point about tightening the trailing arm bushings after the car's on the ground, but that begs the question: how does one tighten that nut with the car on the ground? I don't have an inspection pit. I could always ask whoever I get to do the alignment to slacken it and tighten it from under the car while it's on the rack.
Good news: the benevolent people at Elephant Racing allowed me to buy a replacement inner race, so I will be able to put the spring plate on this weekend!
