I used my homemade tool with the car on a lift, and it was very easy. I loaned it to a friend and watched him struggle to an unsuccessful effort in his driveway (burned 'em out instead, was putting in poly and needed only the shell, but didn't want to burn the rubber out in the driveway in the car).
I used a piece of 1/2" x 20tpi threaded rod cut to length with an old 240 lugnut welded on one end to form my "bolt." Couldn't find the correct length bolt locally, either, and I had the allthread sitting around from a prior project.
We made a flat piece of 1/4" steel plate into a bushing pusher to press in the new bushing. To press the bushing out, you need that cylinder of a specific diameter as the instructions call for, so it will fit into the round hole in the flange on the axle. But to press the new bushing in, I found that my grinding was not precise enough and my cylindrical pusher was too small when used on the slightly larger non-tapered side. Flat plate with a bit hole in the middle worked fine, since the bushing's final resting place leaves some of it sticking out past the flanges on the axle, thus the cylinder isn't needed.
Good luck...leverage is your friend.
