Replacing upper engine torque arm mount bushing 850 1995

I made up a cheap "press" for less than about $5. with a long threaded bolt, some large washers, and two pipe mounting flanges from the Home Depot plumbing aisle. The pipe flanges are wider than teh bushing housing, and you just put one flange on one side of housing, thread bolt with washer already on it through the flange and housing, then place new bushing over bolt from other side, add flange, washer and nut. After that just put a wrench on each end of bolt and crank it until the bushing is all the way into the housing. I've done three now (different cars) and it takes about 15 minutes and a $13 bushing. So far, no second failures (45k on oldest).
