3. Use a screwdriver or something to bend and pry out old bushing.
4. Freeze new bushing.
5. Use vice to press new bushing in (after making sure it's aligned).
I'd say it took under an hour.

I tried the same thing complete with freezer. The throw of my vice was not large enough with a good sized machinist vice to fit the mount and bushing so all thread through wooden blocks was used until it would go into the vice. The force required was so high a portion of the outer thread of the vice acme thread stripped. More banging with a big hammer and chunks of wood for a couple of hours then back to what was left of the vice. cost me a couple of hours, lots of extra work and the outer threads of the jack screw of my vice. I'll be buying the whole piece next time.
