Great Idea doing as much of your own work as possible.  Two things I have run
across:

1. One guy said he cut the old rubber unit out w/ a hacksaw. Don't cut the
bracket! Then he put the metal bracket in the oven and the new rubber bushing
in the freezer to cool down. With hammer and a board to spread out the impact,
he whacked and whacked until it was pressed in.  YMMV.

2. On the other hand; the Potterman will send you one already pressed in to a
bracket f you send him the old one- A refundable deposit will apply if you
need the new one before you take the old one out. (Minimal downtime).
