Actually he needs to put the bushing in the deep freeze overnight and put a heat gun on a lower heat setting of a small space heater on the crank end - don’t want to get it too warm. With some luck the bushing will slide into the crank recess or at least seat with a few relative easy taps with a hammer on a piece of wood. But is the brass portion of the bushing loose in the steel surround? It needs to be fixed so it doesn’t rotate with the input shaft. It could be that as the bushing is seated in the crank it will shrink and tighten slightly on the brass locking it in place. Just have to try it and see. Hopefully the steel bushing OD is not more than a couple thousands of an inch interference fit.
