Pressed mine out easily with a vice and two sockets.  Installation of
the new ones was even easier with lubricant (I prefer silicone spray for
this).  I went with polyurethane bushings myself.

  When i had my floors put into the Spitfire, there was a problem
removing 
one of the rear radius arms and the busing was torn out and needed 
replacing.  I went ahead and bought new bushings for all four of the 
existing bushings.  However, getting the old bushings out seems to be a
bit of a challenge.  Any suggestions?  Or...shoudl i go with the old 
"If it 
aint broke...don't fx it" rule?  The others aren't damaged at all that
i can 
see, but i just figured that while i was under there i might as well
replace 
them all.  good idea/bad idea?
