Leaf Spring Bushings

Trying to replace my rear leaf spring bushings, but the outer metal wall is corroded to the inside of the leaf spring. Any tips to remove it?

How are you trying to remove them? I'd suggest some wd40 and using a press to push the bushings out. I would avoid using heat/torch as it could alter the properties of the spring metal itself.
