Which bushings would that be, the ones at the rear holding the 
lateral bolt?  When I did mine some years ago I had to cut the bolt 
out with a hacksaw blade because it was frozen to the inside of the 
bushings.  Then I removed the bushings by cutting out the rubber and 
using a hacksaw blade from the inside of the bushing to cut into the 
outer rim.  Putting the new ones in was easy though once the hole was 
cleaned up.
