I f remember correctly the outher shell is thin metal and easily bent when the rubber is gone. Anyway, the bushings came out after a few light taps with the hammer after burning. But burning made a big mess - all that rubber became a powder that distributes easily throughout the place!

I do not know, you could bring the new bushing and try all the pullers they have and see whether one potentially could work?

No, not really. I my case it was the welding seams that were a bit rusty. I was in a rush when I did the job and did no rust prevention.
