control arm bushings

[Huw Powell <human@nh.ultranet.com>]

I feel bad about such WOB with my posts about language so... back to
cars!

I have picked up a set of control arm and subframe bushings for my
coupe.  My neighbor (who should know) says to put the control arm
bushings in I have to cut off almost all the flange part on one side of
each.  Is this really true?  It seems to be a drag to have to hack up
new parts to get them in.  Is the alternative some expensive VAG tool? 
Or just lots of sweat, grime and cussing?  (there we go again!)
