Press plate for idler arm bushing?

Anyone have any input on the proper press plate to use for removing/installing idler arm bushings? I need to replace one on a '68 I'm working on, the bushing outer diameter is 1 1/4"

I find a socket with the right (a bit smaller preferred) diameter and fake it with my 20 ton press. The standard base plates usually work. I did a rush job on a drive shaft universal joint a couple of weeks back with the same situation. Be creative. The results are what count.
