Knock or pull out, some cossie have bearings instead of bushes in there so might need a bit of a whack.

I left my trailing arm bushes in and they came out of powder coating fine being spherical joints and not rubber bushes...dunno if saffys just have run of the mill stuff being the lower class breed The beam its self ive found the easiest way being to just cut them out.
