Job jobbed. Well one side anyway  :)

Old bush put up a fight, but screw driver in slots and wiggling it started to come out. Trying on various sides got it bit by bit, but then screw driver would have less angle/power as it came further out.

Brainwave.... I got the brake pad spreader and wedged that in. Expanded it out and that pushed the bush out nicely.

Old knackered bush...
