Anyone have an adapter plate for the front bushing with a part number? I have a driver set I use with my press but not one big enough for the 727 front bushing. Hoping to find a single plate for this use only.
 
A hacksaw blade by hand length wise gets em out, block of wood and a hammer get em in. If your trying to get it in below the face line, a socket the same size as the OD of the bushing works great.
 
I couldn't find a driver big enough either so I turned down the o.d. of a 2" galvanized heavy wall electrical conduit coupler (it's just about .050" too big) and use it with my press. Works great.
 
For removing them and other bushings I ground a chisle like this (ground out the V) and it'll cut the bushings out in a flash.
WAY faster than pressing them.
