Diff cradle in hydraulic press

Anyone have any pics of how they rigged up their diff cradle in a hydraulic press? Having real trouble doing it and removing the bushes.

I sorted it all out

I used the setup as per this thread https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/diff-bushing-install-645194/

I got the plumbers at work to cut me a short piece of 62mm outer diameter steel pipe which i used for pushing the actual bush out and i bought a 65mm high pressure PVC pipe to press against the actual cradle. I was a bit sceptic about using PVC but it held up and couldnt have worked any easier and best part cost me nothing and i didnt have to buy a massive socket that i would never use again for any other reason
