upper fire wall/engine mount

I need to replace the mount due to cracks in the rubber. How hard is it to replace. I see I can buy the bushing, but my concern is how do you take the old one out and push the new one in?
Thanks

easy..buy a gear puller ($20) and push it out...

new one you need some big washers and long bolt to pull it in...

the dealer gave me the (i think) wrong one..but a little judicious sandpaper and grease and it cranked straight in...

i made to circles of wood with 25mm holes cut in them to spread the load around the centre...worked a treat..
