I have found another (possibly cheaper) solution to changing your radiator bushings.
This was hanging in the Help! section at our local backwoods O'reillys. Part # 31019
The two larger ones are the ones you want.
Before & After
Start by tearing out as much of the bushing by hand/pliers. With the age of our cars it shouldn't be too hard to tear a large portion out.
Burn the rest of it out.
Clean up with a file, or if you have a small wire wheel, this works fantastic.
At this point you can go ahead and press the new bushings in. A c-clamp works great. If you try hard enough you can get it by hand.
I went ahead and sandblasted and powder coated them.
And there ya go! Should last the life of the vehicle.
