These are almost impossible to remove. I've tried pushing out the rubber (not too difficult) but it leaves a steel sleeve inside the wishbone. I tried cutting with a hacksaw but I'm worried about cutting into the surround of the wishbone and weakening it. Any ideas? I've got about 20 to remove!
I did try pushing the sleeve out using a vice and suitably sized pieces of metal but no joy.
