I drilled mine out. Its a real dog of a job, lots of burnt rubber and you end up using the drill as a spoon stirring the old bush into bits before it can be pulled out.

Getting a new poly-bush in is an easier job though. Good luck. If you run into bother take some photos and get them up if you haven't already sorted it.

In the end i managed to chissel the snapped bit of the old bush out and then i measured how much gap there was..then cut the new bushes down to fit. Tbh it fits perfectly haha i didnt think it would though! :)
