The 2nd front bushing had to be far enough away from the 1st front bushing,
for the bushing puller's fingers to be able to hook the backside of the 1st front bushing.
I'm surprised you were able to get the backside of the 1st front bushing hooked.
Unless the 2nd front bushing was far enough away for the fingers to hook it.
You could drill a hole on the top side of the Torque Tube like HotRod Lincoln suggested.
Or use a cut-off wheel with a thin disc to cut a slot on the top side of the Torque Tube and drive it out with thin chisel
or get it close enough to grab it with bushing puller.
The Okie sleeve will cover the slot from the inside, then fill the slot with liquid steel. After it drys sand smooth. Ball housing will cover outside.
Earlier trucks had an elongated slot on the top of the Torque Tube facing the underside of the cab.

Torque Tube Bushing Replacement Shows elongated slot on Torque Tube
The benefit of this was the ability to replace bushings & oil seal while Torque Tube remained in truck.

Slot in Torque tube Lower RH corner of page.
The only way the Okie bushing will fit is when there is only one bushing in the Torque Tube, the rear propeller shaft bushing.
There is just not enough room, besides the propeller shaft will run cooler, because there will be less friction and the gear lube
will not have to go through two front bushings to lubricate the rear propeller shaft bushing.
Don't give up on the
http://www.gennieshifter.com guys, they are stand up people.
I had a incorrectly made bushing puller and they sent me a new one, no question asked.
I said' What do you want me to do with the bad one. He said" Throw it away..
I didn't even buy it from him, I bought it from one of his vendors, that he sells them to.
