For the puller - I have used threaded bar and plumbing fittings and washers as extractors before.

The plan is to have a big set of washers on the end of your plumbing fitting (usually a screw threaded cast steel item for HD gas pipes etc) and then use a large flat washer on one end of this fitting - butt the other end up against the LCA - pass threaded bar through plumbing fitting and LCA then put on a big washer that will fit inside LCA...

...tighten nuts on either end of threaded bar so the rubber bushing gets dragged into the plumbing fitting and out of the LCA.

(Takes longer to type out the explanation than it does to do it)
