[Spits] Bushings

Hi,

I am still working on my differential and leaf spring.  I am trying to 
replace the mounting bushings on both, but cannot get them out.

They are the ones with a external metal sleeve, rubber then an internal 
metal sleeve.  Both the differential and spring are out of the car.

On the spring I have tried using a bolt - socket that that bushing will 
fit into - bushing - socket about the same size as the bushing  then a 
nut and tightening it.  I didn't get anywhere.  I don't have a socket 
large enough for the differential bushing to slide into.

Any suggestions on how to get them out?

Thanks,
Roger
