Drill several holes. If you're brave, use a torch and burn out most of the rubber.

Yes they are a complete whore to get in and out. The best way of doing it is with a press, or you can get in there with a punch and hammer it out. Slow but it works. Just make sure the housings and the bushings are nice and clean before you grease them up and install.

you need to get MM LCAs instead of using the BS rain gutters

i've used a torch but it seems to only set the bushing on fire and not go all the way through. will try another way maybe a drill and dremel

Yep, set it on fire and let it slowly burn. You can accelerate with PB blaster.
