[TR] Wishbone bushes

Another option is to use a gas blowtorch to heat the old bush. Then hold one
BFH against one edge of the bush and with another BFH in the other hand,
strike the bush firmly at 180deg on the opposite side. You may have to
repeat the action by keeping the bush hot with the gas and continue hitting
it around its circumference until it comes loose. I used this method on many
occasions with successive cars (and a Ferguson tractor) for steering joints
etc. Just remember that when the bush comes off, you shouldn't pick it up
off the floor with your fingers!!! BTDT. Important too to ensure the torch
flame doesn't get near things like rubber brake hoses.
