Default Cosworth rear beam bush removal...if I wana use again?

Hi all, read a few times about cutting the top off them and pushing um through, but what if I want to keep them?

Can they be pressed out? or a puller maybe?

Cheers lads/lassies

You can make a tool to pull them out or you can press them out.

cut the old ones out and put these in, nice and cheap I have had no problem with them and they come in two parts so are a lot easier to fit, these are the stronger 80 shore ones but they do a softer version.

hope the eBay link works
