if there what im thinking off its a round bush with a metal cylinder in the middle , i havent removed that bush yet , but my style is to just drill the shit out of the bush its self untill it becomes loose enough to bang throu

Mate you will be fucking lucky to bang these out i had my arms off the car using a big vice and a couple of sockets either side still could not budge them had to have them pressed out in the end ,if there still on the car you could try using some threaded rod a couple of nuts a socket that will pull the bush through Good luck

I removed the trailing arm bushes at work. Heated them up with the gas bottles and then pressed them out with the press. Even with this they were very tight coming out!

Burn them

Burning wont really help, they need heating up.
The bushes are a metal tube with a rose joint inside so the tube/bush needs pressing out.
