well it happens just to about every person, ive dropped over 15 civic and tegs, happens almost everytime, what i do it press the out with a vice clamp and either the bolt snapped or i cut it off to get the shock off and then i heat the bushing up in a bench vice witha torch, just a fine line dont heat the whole thing, then i just hammer it out with a punch, but if all that isnt avail. to you id go to your local honda dealer and just piuck up a new bushing for a couple bucks

What I had to do was cut the bolt on the lca. Just took a hacksaw and cut it on either side of where the shock bolt to the lca. Then have the new bushing pushed in and your good.
