If you are trying to remove them from the spring. heat them with a torch, the rubber part will catch on fire and after a minute or two it will slide right out! If you are trying to get the bushing out of the frame, I used a sawzall with a narrow blade that would fit inside the metal bushing, cut a small slot from end to end just enough to loosen it, then drove the old one out with the new one... or you can use a slightly smaller deep socket easy!
