The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Kw tool for rear shackle bushing removal??

Gentlemen: I am restoring an original rear end differential, and have run into a problem. The sleeves (bushings) for the spring shackles are very much stuck in place, and evidently someone tried to remove one in the past, as it is partially out toward the front. QUESTION - Did KW or anyone make a removal tool for this problem?? I can certainly come up with a few clever pieces of pipe/tubing -or- have some appropriately sized steel sleeves fabricated. Any thoughts??
