Bushings

Starting to feel like the forum idiot but...........................the lower bushings on the attachment plate are shot. I just got some new ones with seals and wondering how the "experts" get these things in and out without wrecking things. I have a very large box of hammers (my favorite tool) but these things aren't cheap and would like to know how to do it correctly. You guys have been a great help and I appreciate the info; we don't have many Takeuchi mechanics or knowledgeable people up here. cd

Never did a Taki but used a 12 ton bottle jack to press them in on a Bob.
Just wrapped a chain around it all and pressed it in.
