        I have a bolt that's juuust the right size -- I can thread it into
the bushing, and it kind of taps as it goes.  When it bottoms out as you
turn it, it then starts to pull the bushing.

        Worked for me twice, anyway!

        I have a piece of Al bar stock whose end I turned down a bit to
match the i.d. of a new bushing.  I use this to drive the new one in.
