   dont press old 1 out. whack a screw driver inbetween teh plastic and the mount body and it will snap the bush. then pull it out and poush your new 1 in. no way should you need to use 42 ton.

   i used a minisaw to cut the old one out and pushed the poweflex one in by hand, easy.
   
   took about 15 mins in total.
