body bushing help

Ok, I finally got around to putting in my new body bushings. I was able to get to radiator support ones swapped with moderate cussing. Now I am onto the main body, but how do you get them apart? There isn't much room to get an air hammer in the little spot for the front cab bushings. I know they are pressed in, just need some help to get them out.

Now I have another question. I noticed the price of the sleeves and it is pretty crazy. Can I just get some grade 8 bolts say 5/8" thick and use them instead? Should work the same as the sleeves right?
