OMG What a Rabbit Hole!

I opened this thread hoping to find a how-to giving hints on pressing Powerflex bushings into the original mount but WOW! What a journey.

I am expecting my poly bushes to be delivered on Monday so that's the type I am going with. Does anyone have any tips for pressing in the large poly bushing as per Dawn's request last December?
I have done them on MGF's before using a Lotus poly bushing, but if I recall they were 2-part bushes on the large end.

With the one piece bushing I expect it will just need a bit of deburring on the hole, possibly heating in hot water to soften it a bit, plenty of lube and press it in.(Ahem) Any additional tips?
