Thats why I love Shop forum, and I really appreciate your help md21722 and RLEO's advice; i couldnt do this without both your technical support.
The C bushing is basically a steel sleeve with the rubber inside. The rubber is some tough stuff, but at least you could torch or grind it out. Its the steel sleeve that is the problem.
If I try to push the way Mr Leo indicates, the rubber absorbs the impact. So I went out and bought a piece of 2" pipe so I could push against the sleeve and not the rubber. However the metal flange on the opposite side prevents you from locking the tool Mr Leo recommends into place.
When I get home I will post a picture of Mercedes special tool!

One Last question. Does the 17 A kit supersede the 17C kit? I checked Fast Lane and all over the 'Net and have not found the 17C bushing.
