I recently did my own torque rod bushings, replaced with original type rubber.

I removed the rods, chopped and scraped out the split old rubber (mine were really bad) and clamped the bars in a vise, with the rod end I'm working on pointing up.

I took apart a hacksaw and fed the blade through the center of the bushing shell, and cut towards the rod until I just cut through the whole shell.

Remove the hacksaw, and tap the old bushing right out. The new ones fit in without much need for a press- I was actually a bit concerned with a sort of loose fit in a couple of them, so I tapped on the sides with a hammer and punch in a couple spots to help lock them in.

Good luck with your job.
