Yeah heat is your friend. slitting the bushings with a hacksaw blade can help too. I use 1/2" extensions as drifts and regret it about every time. Is #3 out? my ho-made tool shown towards the end of the thread works pretty good, is easy to make and saves a socket extension from getting beat up.
Yea i made Garys home made tools, and worked like a dream once i got them free, but i will tell you this the original bushings do not burn worth a damn, they are not all plastic they are a composite type of product but the heat will eventually break them apart it just takes a good amount of time.
