I know it's getting old now, but again, if you just use a vise you can press the old bushings out the reverse of the way they went in, ie inside-to-outside, without the need for extra work (sawing) or a special tool. They're just rubber, it's not like they are metal pieces that only fit together at a certain temperature. They come right out.

I can't take credit for that page. I have no idea who's it is, but the tool works great. There is no need to saw anything.

A ball joint press works great too, to press out the bushings.
