Well, just got back inside from getting the new bushing in the
tranny case unscathed and I thought I'd share the secret -- drill the hole
out with a 17/32" drill bit. That particular bit was about 0.2-0.4mm
smaller than the diameter of the bushing so I was able to tap-tap-tap the
bushing in to the hole without it cracking or mushrooming. It worked very
well.. the actual drilling only took off a couple tenths of a millimeter
but it made all the difference in the world.

I don't know why I even hesitated to do this earlier (probably because
17/32" is bigger than 1/2" and is a difficult bit to come by.. and I
figured I didn't have a size that big but I found a box of bits I forgot
I had) but I highly recommend it if anyone else has this same problem (the
hole not being big enough to accept the bushing) - the bushing is still
VERY snug in the hole and isn't going to spin around in it or anything.

Anyway, glad to be back on the road..

There's an easier way...

The 12mm triple square fits very snugly inside the brass bushing, and if you give it a couple of solid taps with a hammer, the bushing and tool can easily be rotated out with a 1/2"/13mm...
