I wouldn`t try this unless very desperate/ late in the day/ I hate my truck mood.

It drilled into the steel on both sides of the rubber so I was able to deform the outer steel ring with a screw driver and hammer out the bushing. It's noisy and smelly (the rubber melts on the drill bit) but it did the job in a few minutes. SC
