How do i remove the tie bar bushes from a 1999 tie bar bracket. Usually i just cut one half of the bush then smack them out but these seem totally different.

wasnt aware they were different but drilled about 7 holes on my (95 gsi) and then smacked them out or used a blowtorch until the rubber sets fire and then smacking out

What the centre metal piece before the rubber or the rubber bit itself? Never seen a vauxhall bush like these.

Warren when you say the whole thing do you mean the metal piece the bush seems to sit in as well?
