Default Help removing differential bushings

I'm installing battle version diff bushings in my car, and I'm having trouble removing the old bushings. I have the diff out of the car. I cannot get the ear mount bushings out of the diff housing and have not attempted the rear bushings yet. Any help is needed

Same thing, spray tons of water in the surrounding area, i dont think there's anything important there anyways and just torch them, if you have an air hammer that helps a lot too. If not, hammer and choose or a pry bar.you don't have to be gentle so just go ham at it.

I managed to get them out. Did not want to torch them seeing as the gas tank is directly above. Got them out using a multitude of punches and chisels with a hand sledge hammer. Took a lot of time and effort, but they do come out with a lot of force!
