Yes, then you can do the hacksaw trick cut it and it comes out after a few taps, the trick is to not heat it til it melts, just get it hot enough and the rubber should separate from the metal all around it and then tap the rubber out.

I should have asked, how did you guys get yours out? I'm sure there's a better way than a press, sawsall, hammer, and punch.

Depending on space and angle I have to work with:

Ball joint press

Misc sized washer and a pipe or piece of the bearing press

Air hammer to collapse the collar then let it fall out


Can't say I've ever burned a bushing out. I'm generally pretty weary of heating large pieces of cast, structural metal like that. It's all too easy to introduce heat stress / warping and weaken the part.
