Message master kit and now whenever I am working on something, I replace whatever bushings I can while I am in there.

I figure in about 11.8 years I will have them all swapped! ;-)

I had access to a press. I would still have tried it with a big vise, but it would be MUCH easier with the press. If you do not have a press, just take them off and find a machine shop willing to do it. Only take them 15 minutes and should not charge you that much...maybe $20 or so?

Little word of advice if you do it yourself, don't put your face over them while pressing and even if they get a little crooked while going in...keep pressing! They will still go in. Once you have one lip through, take it out of the press/vice and turn it over and hit the side you started pressing them thru on like a hammer on a bench or something hard. They will pop right on in.

We kept trying to start over when the first one would get a little crooked, but then we just kept going and they went no problem.
