if its the bushing on the arm, its easier to replace the whole arm. quadratech sells new oem arms cheap. if its the bushing on the axle, its easier to burn it out.

Drill out as much of the rubber as possible & then punch the rest out with an air chisel. JIM.

if you can freeze the bushing overnight, it will probably slide easier in a warmer hole

I've used a hole saw to drill out the rubber around the bushing before. Nasty smell but not too difficult.
