Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Shot, Can I Replace or special tools needed? Options

[Spoke]

Well, I got closer to road ready with a new clutch.

Then on further inspection, I found the driver side rear swing arm has a bad bushing. The shiny part of the suspension ear shows how the trailing arm has been moving around. The blue screwdriver is in a hole in the metal caused by the movement of the arm at the pickup point.

This puts me in a real predicament since I have a 5-lug suspension to put on the car but have at least a month or more of work (at my pace) on the wheels (strip, polish, paint), install suspension, flare fenders, and I want to get the car on the road ASAP.

Question: How hard is it to replace a bushing? I'm thinking of repairing just this one bad bushing. Are any special tools required?

Maybe one of my local 914 brothers has a spare swing arm that I can "borrow" for a couple of months. Perhaps we can swap some parts.

That "used to be a bushing" is one of the Weltmeister polygraphite pieces of sh!t. When the flange breaks off the inner portion of the bushing is free to move deeper inside the trailing arm and no longer provide support.
Those bushings require a lot of effort to even make them marginally acceptable imo. Part of the problem is that the hole in the trailing arm isn't round. That's why I offer the Delrin bushing installation service.
