Rear Motor Mounts bushing R/R

[series60]

Haven't seen much about R/Ring the rear motor mount bushings.

Would like to know the easiest way to r/r these bushings for my application as noted in my sig. Everything is on the work bench.

Use heat to burn the center out of the rubber,
Use a socket to drive remaining part from housing or a small screwdriver to remove the metal shell.
clean the hole
install new spacer
using a socket to fit the shell and a press or "C" clamp install the new bushings untill seated.
The item pictured I made to install bushings.the upper part has a relief that is a slight press fit in the housing, the lower part has a relief to sit on the outer shell part. install the spaced untill seated, start the bushing STRAIGHT, tighten thereaded rod untill seated.
PM`d my cell if you have questions.

Thanks Doc. That's got to be a $100.oo tool you made there! Got to consider this some more. This one is going to be a gut call!

I used a hydraulic press for mine but someone suggested here to use a ball joint press. I will be using it the next time I have to replace the mounts...
