I am trying to remove all bushings from A-Arms to prepare for powdercoating and cannot seem to do. I already broke one because I cannot figure out how to get it out. Because there is a bushing for each side, I don't believe they can be pressed out.
Any tricks on how to do this without just cutting them?
Thanks for insight

Just found this post that provides some suggestions. Looks to me that when powdercoating is done, all bushings must be removed which will destroy them. Unless I hear other feedback, I will order all new ones and pound out the old.
I got some of them out witout braking them by using an extenssion and making it catch the edge from the backside.. but most of them broke

they need a little lube first and some patient tapping with flat screw driver.

If it's the Oilites, I had no issues leaving them in and the shop masked them off.
