Front Steering Loose

[crfbikerboy]

My 95 vmax 500 has too much steering play. I took it apart to notice all the bushings and pins need replaceing. What is the best way to hammer these bushings out. I got the pins out but those bushings are very thin. Hard to find something small enough to go through and still grab the bushings. I did try a small socket , and beat on it for a minute with no movement at all .Doesn anyone have a good way of getting these bushings out...I think there are 12 in total plus the ones in the skies.

Use a little heat from a propane torch maybe? Royal distributing sells a whole bushing and shim kit for these sleds, it helps an awful lot to tighten things up.
