Does anyone know how to remove the two bushes (part no: 2A3502) from a remote change casting?

I have removed the aluminum diff housing from the rear of the gearbox and am trying to knock out the worn control shaft bushes with a long thin drift.

It looks like the bushes were originally pressed into the top and bottom of the shaft tunnel within the aluminum housing at the factory.

The problem is that the drift keeps slipping off the chamfered edge of each bush.

Is there a specialist extraction tool for this job? (....anyone know a good keyhole surgeon?)
As the bushes are readily available just about everywhere, I feel sure that I'm not the only one to have come across this problem.

The subject doesn't seem to be covered in any of my workshop manuals (and I can't find on-line solutions either)

Any advice would be most appreciated O_O

Many Thanks

Patience...I got mine out and wasn't exactly sure what I was doing so for someone like yourself who sounds reasonably practical you should get there
