No, no specs, You just need to get them in fully. If you're careful, you can use a wide-mouth bench vise Put a dense chunk of wood or something on the bushing side, so you don't mar it as you crank the vise down. Make sure it's line up well before you start cranking too.

That said, it's probably easier to get the bolt out. It'll require 5-6 drill bits, but that's cheaper than a new bushing.
