Swingarm bushes

Today i had to cut off my swingarm (cut off the spindle, i have a spare).

The reason is that the bushes had seized to the spindle, and it would NOT move whatsoever. Tried to press it out with the hydraulic press but it was having none of it.

My problem now is that i have one fucked side of the swingarm and one good side (regarding bushes).

I've never done this part before, and need to know what to order to fix it.

To put it onto the new frame, i'll need the new spindle, which i have, and new bushes, for one side of the swingarm...

Do i just need to buy two of these? I'm under the impression you need 2 for each side of the swingarm but i'm not sure, and i can't afford to waste money on this bike.

You should need one of these fibre bushes for each side of the swingarm. There's also the metal bearings that run in the fibre bushes to consider. Usually it's best to replace them too. It might be (in fact almost certainly would be) cheaper to pick up a whole swingarm s/hand, particularly in view of how easy it is to damage the bushes putting them into the swingarm.
