FC front trailing arm bushing doesn't fit?
Hello,
I am half way through installing a TurboII sub-frame in my1986 N/A FC RX7. I ordered the Parts Shop Max trailing arm front spherical bushing conversion:
https://store.partsshopmax.com/shop/...ng/FCTAFB.html
However the new bushings seem to be just a little bit too big (picture attached). There was some rust and old rubber so I cleaned the inside of where the bushing goes thoroughly but the new bushings still don't fit. Anyone on here run into this problem? Do I just need to slam them in there with a press? I will give Parts Shop Max a call next week, but I'm hoping to find a solution so I can salvage this weekend's free time to finish up the car
Thanks!
And yes I should said "trailing arm front bushings" in the title, sorry about that!

Alright...I figured I missed something
I did more research and finally found this post: https://www.rx7club.com/drifting-226...1013844/page5/
Looks like I haven't removed the inner sleeves yet and that is why the new bushings don't fit, hopefully this helps someone in the future.
