The lowers I drilled the rubber an eventually could pull chunks out with some pliers. Then I took a hacksaw an cut a slot in the shell. A few wacks with a hammer an a punch on one side of the cut collapsed it enough to fall right out. A piece of wood an a hammer knocked the outer shells back in after they spent a few days in the freezer an I put the arms in the sun for about an hour too. Gotta be quick an only take one shell at a time out of the freezer. I used the press at work for the uppers but I think the same method would work fine on them as well. If you use a press be sure to support the areas between the bushings with something so you don't bend the arms....

Thanks Good Tips !!
