<div> <font size="3">Dave, when I did the front end rebuild, the same happened. Hey, they had been there since 1955, so not wanting to move can be understood. I took a small cutting wheel on the Dremel tool and made a slice in the bushing from the end to the center. Don't go too deep, the steel sleeve is only about 1/16" thick. After cutting, a small punch should be put in slice at an angle and hit with hammer. The bushing just rotated and slid off. Underneath the bushing the pin might be a little rough, but if the new bushings slide on fairly tight , it should be OK. See ya, John Bowe </font><br>
