Yeah. About a million percent easier. With the tool, about 2 hours. Without the tool, about 2 days.

 

thanks all, just back from holidays and contacted M-barn :-) See how it goes

 

I actually have an extra bushing. Let me know if you need help getting one. I ordered one from CJ pony parts. then found one locally. Cjs was on back order (go figure) It shoud be here any day but i no longer need it.

The tool makes it about a 10 min. job!
