boss:
yeah, i trued it with a big 9" vice thinking that would be enough, i bent the bar before the bush moved!

another way you can do it is to cut through it with a hacksaw, just dont nic the arms!

muddyjames:
or I am thinking take it to a garage for them to do! :lol:

boss:
there is a bit on the lr4x4 on how to remove them with out a press. baisically heat up the steel inner sleve and then that slips out then cut it with  the saw. never seen it done so easeley i used an oxy accetalyne torch and burnt the rubber!

Range Rover Blues:
The inner sleeve is bonded to the rubber, that's how metalastic bushes are made, if you heat the inner tube it will melt the rubber localy to the tube becasue rubber is an insulator of heat, that's why they appear to slip out.

I find it's best to burn all the rubber out or it clogs the hacksaw blade anyway.
