The rubbers press out easy enough, its the old casings thats a sod, the little ones (2 of each per wishbone) will press out with a g-clamp and a big socket over one side, the large inner ones I cut straight down the middle with a hack saw then squashed slightly which pulls it away from the wishbone itself then just pull it out with some grips. Trailing arms are a piece of piss, again big socket in a vice and press them out.
