The problem with dealing with this bushing is that it has a hydraulic center. As a result the bushing can not be driven in by pressing on the end. We use a tool of our own creation and do the job on the car. Our tool looks like piece 012k in the above pictures. I have an image in my computer at the shop if anyone would like to see it.

The main expense to the MB tool is in the portion used for extraction. My methods aren't pretty and you sure won't reuse any of the remains. But then who cares what the old bushing looks like when its in the trash.
