The tool is definitely over thought out for this job, With how much I read I was expecting a hell of a time getting them out. I realized i could make it work with little.
I have access to a cnc mill to i cut out my own aluminum discs in lieu of washers but in my opinion doing that just saved me the trip to the store.
get a 5/8" coarse threaded rod, get a nut welded to one side of the rod(or double lock nut), a couple large diameter washers (if you can weld them together its even better) and get to pulling.
I used an adjustable wrench to hold a nut and the aluminum disc on the top of the bushing while using a long handle ratchet to turn the welded nut and pull the bushing through and out the bottom of the sub frame.
I recommend also grabbing a benzomatic torch to heat the sub frame, it causes the rubber of the bushings to get greasy when they're heated and they pull out quite nicely.
