Inspection of a 904 torqueflite

Education isn't free, but bushings are cheap. If you take ANYTHING to a transmission shop I say you gave up.
IMHO some jobs where you are probably never going to do it again, it is hard to justify the investment in specialty tools. I always weigh that out between how much it would cost to pay someone to do it versus the cost of the proper tools and how much use I will get out of that tool. I believe the recommendation to bring parts to a trans shop to have the bushing done was in Tom Hands new book.
