TO all and Speedy Jim,
I believe Jim answered the following before for me:
Is there an easy way to replace the bushing (engine in car)?
thanx,

There is a special tool for it (of course!), but you can thread a machine tap into the bushing and then screw a bolt in to pull it out with.

SO you're telling me to tap it and then just pull it out with a pliers or something or do I need to pull it out with something similar to a pump puller set up?

You get a tap and cut threads into the bushing, then you screw a bolt in and keep turning it. When the bolt bottoms out, keep turning and it will bring in bushing out of the hole. The bushing threads up the bolt.
Or just keep tapping it with the tap and it will come out! ;-) works for me!
THANKS TO ALL...
Used a 10mm tap and a matching bolt... easier than I expected.
