Not having done it, I think that means it needs a hydraulic
shop press to press the bushing in and out. You may be able
to jury rig something with a long bolt and some thick washers
or socket wrench sockets, or try the Harbor Freight wheel
bearing tool -- go to www.harborfreight.com and search for
part/item number: 45210-3VGA
