Yeah, pushing the bushing out was fun. I pushed the center bushing out first and then I took my sawzall to the metal portion of the bushing and sliced out as much of the metal part as possible at the eye. I then pressed the rubber part out and then hammered out the steel bushing. One side had a shoulder on it so it could only be pressed out one direction. The other side of the metal bushing is swedged to keep it from backing out. Now I see why guys have complained about what a PITA it is to remove it. Took about an hour to remove them using a ball joint press tool I rented from Autozone. I have a press but that what a two person job and it was only me, so old manual style tooling went to work.
