Trailing Arm Bushing Replacement Advice Needed

I've just found out that the Whiteline #W63398 requires that you RE-USE THE OEM OUTER BUSHING "RACE"/SLEEVE!!!! After cutting mine out.... UGHHHHH...The only confirmation I could get as to the "re-use" of the old bushing metal sleeve was from a "chat" feature of a performance parts distributor, Whiteline is quite DIFFICULT TO GET A HOLD OF!


Nowhere on the packaging does it mention needing to re-use any existing portion of the old bushing. I thought that they went in just a little TOO EASY!!
I guess I have a pair of Whiteline Bushings if anyone is interested...
Wait, what? No you don't. Or at least I didn't. They're supposed to go in with nothing more than hand pressure.
 
Yeah, here's the photos I took when I installed my Whiteline kit.

My entire drivetrain is pretty much all Whiteline bushings and links. All of them I cut out the races.
