The factory method involves the use of special Kent Moore slotted washer tools that fit onto the shaft and actually use the shaft as the rod to press the bushings out. I've just always used the "burn the rubber out" method. Once you burn the rubber with a torch (propane works fine, it just takes longer) you can collapse the metal outer shell and the shaft comes right out.
