Case Motor mount Bushing replacement

[Yamahopper10]

Ok the motor mount bushings in my upper case are roached, therefore I am attempting to replace them. I've tried tapping them out with a screwdriver and hammer with no luck. Im attaching a picture so you guys can see what I am talking about, and hopefully someone has a better method of doing this. 

 

 

Thanks

Only way I know is to press them out.

I have pressed them in b4 but when I didn't have a press I put a relief cut with my porting tool a lil heat and tapped it ,put the new one in with heat and vise,I also froze the bushings for 24 hrs

You can do it yourself.  I replaced them on my cases and they came out perfect.  The hammer and heat need to be put away.  I just bought a long piece of threaded rod and found a socket that fit the outside of the bushing,  them put a nut and some washers on the all thread and tightened the socket against the bushing.  Pretty much a poor man's press.  Take your time and use common sense.
