    I cut the lips off one side of them using a Stanley knife and hammered them out.

    I used a puller and a large socket, no cutting or hammering required!

    use screwed rod and 2 large deep sockets, one as a mandrel and the other as a cup. wind the rod up gently and it will pull out. fit the new ones in revese order.

    then when you try to fit the new ones, use a very small amount of soap to lubricate them

    I run a drill through the rubber all the way round to try and relieve some pressure, then cut an end off and hammer away

    And refitting, two half poly bushes ftw
