Technique to remove bushings from new Tuff Country Springs?

[garydan]

I have a new set of tuff country 6" EZ Rides ready to go in. I've read in instructions that I should remove the bushings and grease them up. What is the proper technique for removal? And don't tell me a torch because these are brand new


Edit: Nevermind.... I realized I could just knock out the crush sleeve in the middle then I grabbed the outer rubber pieces with a wrench and pried them out. I tend to run to my CK5 brotherhood for help too soon

that or i used alot of dishwashing soap and a hammer socket and ball joint press to get them out.
