How do you remove the engine mount bushing on a mc-54-250b

Just pull the mount bolts out, sometimes the metal race like for the bolt in the rubber mounts catches or hange up just lightly wedge it. On my 300 I replaced the rear mounts with solid mounts...

You can make a puller using a socket large enough for the bushing to slide into. Set the socket against the engine mount, run a bolt with a washer that is slightly smaller than the bushing thru the other side of the bushing and out the socket with a nut and washer on it. Then as you tighten the nut it will pull the bushing into the socket. Reverse the process to install the new bushing.

This will work as long as the washer doesn't bend.

I made a bushing puller out of some old iron pipe from the junk pile. just took a hack saw and whacked off a piece and use bolt and a couple washers to force the bushing out.
