Also... I have a few questions:

- if I go with the mugen bushing, it should have the sleeve right? and if so, that means I shouldn't have to clean out the old rubber bushing... I need to get the whole busing and sleeve out.
- can i use a little bench press vise to do this?
A bench vise will help. You may need a bolt and a pipe so you can get leverage to press it out, but a bearing press works WAAAAAY better for this.

I usually use a bench vise to hold the bushing while I hit it with the torch. Can't really hold that one in your hand... You need the sleeve, and need to press it into the new bushing, or get a set of bushings that come with the sleeves. If you just put the bolt through it, the diameter will be wrong and the bolt will quickly destroy the bushing.
