I have a friend who has completed most of the fabrication for a home brew trailing arm tool. The 2 inch pipe I got for the receiver was just a little too small for the bushing so he removed the threads and made it have more room to receive the bushing. Except he didn't remove the threads on one side which keeps the bushing from going all the way into the pipe. My question is how much of the bushing needs to make it into the receiving end of the tool. Does the bushing only need to be pressed out of one of the loops or both?

The other concern is getting the new bushings back in. Wondering if anyone could ease my mind with whether or not the tool is used to press the new bushings back in. I should read up on the process more but since I've already got one related question I thought to just throw this one out there as well. I've only seen stuff about pressing them out. Thanks.
