Buy a press. Nothing intense, just something to press the occasional bushing like this. Anybody have recommendations?

probably a harbor freight option is best, cheap, won't see enough use to warrant a higher costing unit and low usage it shouldn't break or be a liability.

I just spent the money to get the pivot part with the bushings already pressed in. I have better things to do than play around with trying to get bushings in.

It's a pretty big price difference, buying a new bar vs just bushings, and they don't take more than a few minutes each to press in/out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
