FWIW,
 
Check out:

(http://www.panteraplace.com/page211.htm)   details how to remove/install the bushings with hole saws, 
adapters, and a stout  vise. I think this is the quickest and cleanest way to do 
the  job.

(http://www.panteraplace.com/page210.htm)   details how to remove/install the bushings with hole saws, 
adapters and a  portable press. I thought this would be an improvement over the 
stout vice  method, but it really isn't an improvement when shipping costs are 
factored in.  Better to spend the money on a really good bench vice.

You did  misunderstand me completely Boyd. What made you think I was doing 
it
on the  car? I used a 30 ton press in my shop.

There is a nice clean, easy way  to do this job. You need some tools, some
time and patience.
Someday  when I have more time, I'll get the photos and story together and
present  it.
I still think there are others that have done it  too.
