I purchased these along with my a arm bushings. I am about to install the a arm bushings and have a clear understanding of how to install those, but not the trailing arm bushings. I have watched a video on the trailing arm bushings install, but the type of bushing he was using is unknown unless I missed something. Do 914 Rubber trailing arm bushings get installed with grease? Are these rubber or teflon?
Thanks for any input, John |

Boiling water only gets to 212 no matter how long you boil it so theres a point that it's technique and not just heat. Cuddy_K has a good video.
The guys at our shop use a rattle gun to zip it in. Less time losing heat than using a wrench. |

But yeah, it isn't going to get any hotter than the boiling point for your elevation. |
