Howard,

I may be wrong about the bushings having a metal casing inside.  (I  
might be confusing them with the front bushings for the rear  
springs).  The last set I installed did not have metal in the center  
of the bushing, they were poly bushings and could be melted out if  
necessary.   So, melting them out just may work ;)
