George,
One thing to do is to add penetrating oil from the outside of the arm, as indicated in the attached photo.  Then when cutting through the shell,you should see a line of rusty oil in the saw cut just as you breach the outer surface of the shell.  Once you get the smaller shell section out, the larger section may come loose fairly easily if you reduce the shell's diameter by tapping at the edges of the cut.  Or you may be as unlucky as I was, and have to apply lots of brute force....

I didn't try using heat because I'd painted the arms long before I realized that the bushing shells weren't part of the arms.
