I thought I'd post this in case anyone else is doing the same and doesn't have a set of nice press sleeves:

I installed new front end PU bushings this weekend, and had some difficulty with the front bushing. I actually fubared one control arm while pressing out the bushing. The 1.75" ID press sleeve I was using collapsed and I bent the arm. That bushing requires a fair amount of pressure, so I found out that a 1.5" galvanized pipe coupling (from my local HomeyD) has the proper 1.75" ID and is very robust. You'll need to get two of them so you can stack them to completely press the bushing out. And to boot, when you're done, you can take advantage of HomeyD's gracious return policy ;)
