Icon2 funciton 7 rear lca bushing removal tips?

alright i know imma get burned for this but what are you guys using (tool) to remove the bushings and the cups on the function 7 rear lca? Only tool i can think of using are some pliers or vice grips to lock onto the cups and twist or turn until they come off but its gonna leave teeth marks and damage the cups.

taking the bushing off to powedercoat them if your wondering.


nvm guys i emailed function 7 and this is their response

"Insert a 10mm bolt about an inch into the bushings and pull perpendicular to the bolt head (i.e. sideways). That should pop the bushing insert out and if the poly bushing does not come out with the metal insert, you can then easily remove them by hand." thank you Adrian Teo of Function 7
