OK, sorry about the G64 tranny. didn't know the mount was different.
No, not only a chisel. First I drilled around the center to remove the steelbushing. Next step is a saw blade and cut through the steel rim of the bushing. Last step is knocking out out the rim from the housing with a chisel or a screw driver. Finally polish the housing to remove some oxide and mount the new bushing. The Turbo Kraft version is very easy to mount. It is two halves that you bolt together. For the first centimeter you use a longer set of bolts and then change them to a shorter set of bolt when the halves har fully in place. All bolts are in the kit.

Thanks Thomas, I was curious since there is this big chisel under the trans in one of your pics
I am thinking that pressing in the new bush shouldn't be a problem if I make a nice tool for it, but the hard/frustrating part will be cutting out the old bush with the trans in the car.
...not impossible, just frustrating

I don't think you need a tool if you're going to replace the old one with a new OEM bushing. A tiny bit of grease and then go around and around the outer rim with a hammer and using small blows would be enough.

The pic shows a set manufactured by TurboKraft. In fact, they used his comments on their website.
