My patent method-
I screw an old 7/8 Whitworth tap into it, then knock it out with a BFH and a drift. The old trailing arm shaft will do.:wink:
Same way I get remote shift bronze bushes out of the diff housings, for them I use a 9/16 UNF tap.

Gotta keep at it like you were. If you push it the other way into the arm you will be in trouble getting it back out.

If things get desperate and you REALLY stuff the shoulder up, you might try cutting a groove along the bush with a hacksaw blade slowly, that will releive pressure and it will come out, but the cutting process would be pretty slow.

Heating might help to release the bearing a little as well.
