I had to replace the same bushing on my 420SEL. I have a spring compressor so I removed the spring, unbolted the complete assembly and replaced the bushing. The old one was very mushy and I used some SYLGEL to help the new one in. I have a Harbor Freight 20 Ton press so help things along.

Check to make sure the rubber boot for the brake rod support bearing is OK otherwise you should also replace that as well. You can tell by a knocking sound under your feet when driving over speed bumps and potholes.
