Eh?? You have the bushes out of thw wishbone's, or you have the wishbones off the car but cant get the bushes out?
If it's the latter then fucking easy mate. Get gas torch / propane burner, lighter, Zippo, anything that makes fire... and set fire to the bushes, burn the rubber out, like, if you get them hot enough the rubber will ooze out and push the centre's out with them..
Then, either hacksaw through the outer sleeve, or belt the little fuckers out.
Thats how I do them, since I like fire..

Bones are off, bushes are out. 34mm socekt and a length of stainless bar does the trick. I can get the bushes out pretty quick now, but havent a clue how to get them back in without a pushy thing.

slather them in copperslip, get some bar that fits snuggly over the outer lip and tap them in, when they're nearly all the way in place a large socket behind the bush and keep hitting.
If you hang the arm off the side of the bench then you dont run the risk of bending the arm, which is actually very easy to do!

Bending is one of my fears, the other is the issue of damaging the rubber. How do you push the mushroom in without pressing on the rubber and risk damaging it?

I think i have 7104-t set at my parents. Going to check it out later.

I always use a socket I've ground out so it's largely just a round tube that fits snuggly around the rubber but doesn't damage it..

7104-t
tsk tsk scouse doode. Use anything 'BUT' the real tool. TBH, I don't think you can do any damage putting the bastards in unless you use 'FIRE'. You can use any human fluid as the lubricant to inset bushes and they'll be just fine.

So chill, have a Cigar, lubricate and push...............jobbed 8)

ok, dating site update:
E-Harmony = I'm too weird to be suited to anyone.. I kid thee not..

Zoosk = full of fucking fruit loops, including one bird who must weigh more than the fucking bus who I've never met or talked to who wants to "sit on my face whilst I spank her with an electric fly swotter".. again, I shit thee not..

Singles = three hits from blokes, no women..
and so the list of shame and indignity went on...

Try listing flower arranging and/or knitting. That way you will attract the correct gender although they may well be on the 'elderly' side. But as you keep pointing out you were born middle aged so you may like it?

Seriously though (OK, I know this is BXP) keep on trying mate. It can only help your chances, and better you find someone with the same interests from the start rather than trying to live a charade.

Maybe you shouldn't engineering? As opposed to, messing about with cars/restoration.
You also like getting pissed in a field and larking about - birds like that.

It's back to the numbers game mate, the more you meet, the more chance you have of meeting 'the right one'
