 Art: I tried making a makeshift press rig, using two (slightly modified) sockets and a piece of threaded rod, but the first one simply will not budge. When it finally started budging, the socket I used for a driver started widening the outer shell, exactly what I did not want.

I'm going for option 2 now, I have drilled out the rubber, som the inner tube is out. The rubber is rotten, but apparently it still sticks quite well to the outer housing. Did you weaken the outer housing in any way to get it out, or did you just use a hammer and bang on it till it came out?

Getting the other bushes out was no problem, used a hydraulic press, but as I said earlier, I wasn't planning on stripping down the axle itself for this job, leaving that for some other time.
