Panhard Bushings

Alright heres the deal. My panhard bar bushings are completely shot. I have the bear off of the car, But I cant get the bushings out. Ive tried hammering the metal sleeve out, tried cutting the metal sleeve from the inside with a hacksaw, but Nothing has worked. I swear everything Ive replaced on this car was original out of the factory. I need help, If I cant get this done today, Im gonna just buy an aftermarket bar and not worry about it.

Burn them out with a propane torch "safely".

I used this method, had to wait for my stepdad to get home seeing as he had the torch in his truck. Im glad I got it done, car now drives straight down the road and the clunk over bumps and around corners is gone.
