E61 was done in place and the E70 was done on a trans jack.

I know the setups look goofy... but accomplished their tasks in a matter of minutes.

Hey...that's ingenuity! That's much better than what I did on my xfer case bushing. It was about 1/2" not fully seated. I ended up just hitting it with a dead-blow hammer and get it to move about 1/4" and pretty much gave up. It was "close-enough" but would've wanted it fully seated. Your idea works much better!
