I knocked the bushing out of the rear of a stock upper control arm, will it fit at the axle end in the cast pillar coming up from the CAD?

Any easy method of installing this bushing?

Yeah it will fit, but why not use a new one? THey are only $5 each at NAPA ($10 for a set of 2 actually).
Removal of it is not as easy: search as there are couple ways to do it and each one has it's merits (anything from a home made tool, to torching it out and cutting it from the inside and and then collapsing).
Install is easy though: just push it in (clean the inside of the cast and put some oil on the bushing and press it in)
