If you burn out enough of the bushing the shaft will essentially fall out. It takes a lot to burn them out. I used a propane torch and just propped it up so it kept heat on the bushings. As it started disintegrating I would move away the burnt bits with a screwdriver. Press would have been quicker but it eventually got the job done.
Make sure that they do not powdercoat the area where the new bushings insert. It is a very tight fit as is.
Thank you Amphicar,
I thought I could step up the amps from my camp burner.
I have access to a gear puller so I may still resort to that.
Also, thanks for the reminder on the powder coating. I was
concerned about that too.
I have an old race buddy that has an Amphicar. Those have
got to be going up in value by now?
