if it was tight i was going to suggest cutting a groove in the surrounding arm to releive the tension but you have beaten me to it and already got it out.at least the proper omega arm will now have good quality oem bush and should last a fair while. this is how i did mine 5 years ago and all is still well as i expected

Just got to find the time to take the old arm out. Weather looks good this week as well.

I bought the one he had left, so at some point need to go through the bush pressing out / in process. No great hurry as mine is in reasonable condition anyway.

Nice one.  :y

Haven't fitted mine yet, still working on my son's car in-between other things.

I'm wondering whether to replace just the centre rubber and inner sleeve into the old outer sleeve or just change the bush complete with outer and inner sleeve. Anyone with any thoughts on that?

Between the rubber part and the outer metal sleeve it is lubricated. Should I re-lubricate this if I chose to use old outer sleeve and what lube should I use?
