I really dreded the idea of doing this job! As luck would have it I only ordered the bronze bushings. Removeing the pivot bolt, it broke at the threads and the inner bushing (bolt tube) was marred up. More parts to order! But I do have good news. To remove the PLASTIC bushing heres what I did. (I love my Dremel!)
Dremel has a bit for cutting outlet holes ect. in drywall (sheet rock) and whatever else. I figured if it was designed for a soft material it wouldn't hurt the metal if it touched a bit. I was patient and made 2 cuts with it. One at 12 o-clock pos. and the other at 6 o-clock. After I was sure the cut was all the way through, I pryed a little with a screwdriver and it was loose. Took about 10 minutes if that for each.
