took me 5 hours

basically i bought the biggest vice on the market. bolted it the heavy steal bench i had, then put a 38mm socket on one end of the bush(they fan out, so put it on the widest point to push to the thinest point. then basically wind the vice forcing the old one out. i snapped 3 high strenth steel bars trying to turn the vice. either that or you need a 40 ton press

 

[Big Bob]

can they be cut out ?

ill try using a press gonna get the chance to use one early next week.
