I'm told that there is a special tool that the dealers use to slide the bush off the wishbone....
Any other way will,of course,destroy the bush.
How about selling lollypop and wishbone as a unit?
If it were a polybush,you could seperate the two parts of the bush,sliding the pin part off the wishbone,to sell with the lollypop.....

Youth is wasted on the young.
He doesn't want the arms, just the lollipops and as no body will buy them complete I said I would split
Is there no way of doing this?
I don't want to attempt this and essentially scrap the bushes....

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Push a small screwdriver between the bush and the pin and introduce some silicon grease in spray can form. Repeat this all around the pin, and from both sides if possible, and you should eventually be able to twist and pull them off.
Every trace of the silicon grease must be removed before reuse.

Cheers for the answer Brian, the bushes are for me. I never realised they would be a PITA to remove.
I'd buy the arms too, but i'd rather get new arms than re-used arms. I don't mind re-using the M3 bushes as these are genuine BMW items and not that old
