I was reading your pm's and replying to you that way (last night), as I said I don't know if you received any of them before I posted the link in your thread.
If you didn't, then I suggested you go to a machine shop, body shop the dealer (if you know anyone that works at one), a spring shop or any repair place ( tireman,midas, etc.). I'm sure they all have hydraulic press's, and could press the old bushings out and the new ones in for $10.00 or $20.00.
I'm like you I prefer to do what I can myself, but some things aren't worth the trouble. I'm a boilermaker (fab shop) by trade and have alot of machinery at my disposal.
I had a front spring snap on my 93 cobra and wound up paying $20.00 to have a local spring shop compress them for me. I know I got screwed out of $15.00 for the amount of time it took them and the 6 pieces of plastic ties they used, but in the end it was worth it. When they came out of the back with them compressed and set them on the counter I asked if that was safe(the ties). He said "Yeah that's safe", and I thought "well they're going to ride home in the trunk just in case". He was right, everything stayed together until I cut them.
Good luck, let us know what you wind up doing.
