Got the passenger side bushing out with the homemade tool this afternoon but wasn't able to get the new one started. I'm going to try to find an over-the-counter thick (~1/4") piece of steel or washer of appropriate size to use on the opposite end of bushing entrance (the forward facing side of carrier). It will 'pull' the bushing in as the other piece 'pushes' it into place.

As has been explained by forum member Jeremy5848, the makeshift 'receiver' does not exactly 'fit' very well as there is an 'arm' on the wheel carrier that is in the way and some fabrication is necessary in order to get it to do its job. I tried cutting a notch in it to no avail. So, I've got an idea or two but no time at the moment! Will update when I've got something to share [emoji851]
