D50 pivot bushings

So its time to replace my pivot bushings, I have a big 2jaw puller i can put an impact on to drive out the bushings and put them back, what I'm asking is whats the easiest way of going about this lil ol' project? Any tips or tricks for doing this without inventing new words or killing myself?

the best way to replace them is to get yourself a Dana 60..lol. there like any toher rubber bushing, a big PITA to remove. i made myself a buehing puller outta some pipe and heavy all thread. i made some 3/8'' thick washers to press the old bushings out. it works quite well so theres an idea for ya. id think a 2 jaw would wanna slip off

I used the same puller with an impact to push out my spring bushings, but i dono how much room I'm going to have under there. 1/2" all thread should fit through a 1/2socket right?
