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.

ive seen the beam unbolted lowered away from chasis a little . round bit of wood put on top of bush with a little fairy liquid then jack the beam up so it pushes the bush out..
id just chop them out though..

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
