    Do you have access to a hydraulic press? If so, that's by far the easiest way. Any other attempts will result in frustration and anger. haha

      Pretty much this. You can drill a bunch of holes into the rubber then burn them out, but a 20 ton press will make it a quick job. Sometimes scary when they let go!

        No press. The auto parts store wants 12 bucks a bushing. Was trying to save a little coin

          Frustrating road ahead.

          I've had my 20 ton press jump off the shop floor when they pop. I should probably bolt it to the floor

            My favorite BFH and a little heat has always got them out for me.
