Default how to get bushings out of oil pump without busting the casting (again)

Ok y'all, got a funny one for you. I discovered that whoever did my oil pump last only replaced the shaft and idler and left the old bushings in the casting, so I decided to get some new bushings and install them. (read this with heavy southern drawl) Well, I done goofed this one up. I used a bushing driver with the intentions of pushing the top bushing out through the bottom. 5 strikes in, crack. Followed by some loud blue fire from yours truly. now I got another casting that also has bad bushings, how do I get those little jokers out of the casting without busting it again? and for the record I kept the broken casting and am going to braze it in my spare time. thanks for y'alls time.
