i was able to get the uppers in using the http://www.twinsaabs.com piston ring idea (hose clamps and tin to create a funnel) but the lowers were a different story becuase they are bigger and taller (making it harder to keep everything straight).
My dad made up some funnels and drifts specially made to push them in straight, and they work beautifully.
I'm thinking of offerring a service whereby you send me the mounts with old bushings in and new bushings as well, i press out the old ones and put the new ones in, then mail the mounts back to you.
Im in Calgary and if u are in the US i dont expect any border problems. anyway email me directly if u are interested.
alternatively check with a machine shop, but i bet they wont do them becuase the bushings are flared and they probably know the risks.
I'll add that even just changing the lower bushings makes a fair difference in soaking up bumps, so its worth it!
