If I did it again I wouldn't even use fire.

- Drill a large hole in the bushing
- Get sawzall and saw the bushing around the center sleeve until it falls out.
- Use sawzall to cut a slit in the metal surrounding sleeve, don't cut subframe
- Cut another slit in the metal sleeve to make a pie shape, don't cut subframe
- Eat the pie (don't do this)
- Hammer the edge of the sleeve to assist in prying it out
- It will fall out
- That's it your done
- Stop reading this
