As Wpoll says, the bigger the press the better. My guys pressed it out with a 20 ton press and was done in about 5 mins more faffing setting it up, they pressed them out in seconds. I would say, if you want to do it yourself, please please... be aware about the stresses and tensions that you are applying on the metals. Be safe and where protective clothing.

I have seen people use a Mapp Gas Blow Touch, BFH and large socket and beat the hell out of it on a vice. Again.. not sure this is really the way forward.

To reinstall new bushes, will require press again unless, you went for a Powerflex or similar poly bush.

Hope that helps.
