well I got it in. ground a little bit of the edge to make it tapered, adapted the press to work with it (go to my build thread if you wanna see the set up haha)
I rotated the bush a bit, as opposed to the stock position to compensate for the car being lowered, as the old one was ripped and my guess is that it was a combination of being old and being twisted from the lower ride height.
will let you guys know how the second one goes when I get around to it haha.

If you have your trailing arms off, its really easy to press the bushes in using a cheap press.
put the arm down on a press, line up the bushing on top, put one rear brake rotor 'upside down' on top of the bushing (the shaft of the bush will come through the centre of the rotor, and the 'hat' of the rotor will nicely put pressure on the casing of the bush), then put the other rotor on top 'right way up'. This should clear the shaft of the bushing and allow you to put a piece of steel or what not on top of the top rotor.
