Oh sorry I forgot to say - the alternative to trying to draw the old bushings out is to just knock the heck out of the aluminium tube with a large hammer and punch. You'll get there in the end! I did one LCA that way and the other as described above...

I did four of these about a month ago and had no problem "folding in" the aluminum tube using a screwdriver and hammer then just pounding it out of the bushing. Perhaps I just got lucky.
