Need Help Removing Bushings

Is there anyway to remove the cab to frame bushings without damaging them? ( I can't remove metal cups from outside the bushings without damaging the cups or bushings )

The sheetmetal halfs are "snapped" together with small tabs. This kept the parts together as the truck was being assembled originally. Usually end up destroying them trying to dis-assmble it.

Look down thru the bolt hole in the center and you'll see tabs locking the two pieces. Usually can't get anything down in the small hole to dismantle it.

Thanks for the information. Was hoping to try and save the bushings since there in such good shape. Attempting rebuild from frame up. I'll try my best to remove them without damage.
