For the transaxle trunion mounts it's hard to beat using heat to remove 
the old bushing.   These bushings have a thin rubber/plastic skin over 
the metal shell.   You don't have to heat the mount up very much to 
start to liquify this skin.   I can get an old trunion mount out in 
about 2 or 3 minutes using this technique with a small propane torch.

It's been a while since I've seen a 105 transmission mount... My guess 
is that this would be no help as I think they have a bare metal shell.
