What is the correct ID for the rear spring perch? The new bushings I have measure .75 in. OD. which is considerably larger than the .69 in OD front bushings. I looked everywhere but the right place and cannot find the correct ID perch measurements.

The reason I ask is that will have to drill out the existing bushing after exhausting all of the tricks I can find in the old threads for bushing removal including; heat-2 times, pushing with an old bushing on all-thread, driving with a bushing driver and pulling by threading the inside of the old bushing and pulling against the perch plus cutting 2, 3 then four relief cuts with a hacksaw.

The drill seems the only alternative left but the existing ID seems more suited to .69 in rather than .75
