The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline Beating out the Okie bushing (1950)

Hello All- so I am changing gears out in my 1950, and am trying to get the okie bushing out. I have had on order from the filling station the puller, which is the only place I found it. It is backordered and talking to them they are having a machine shop make them and no telling when they will come in. SO, my question is this- does the old bushing rest on a collar in there or can it be beat out by a long metal pipe inserted from the other end and then using a sledge hammer to beat it out. My trucks been down all summer now and kinda bummed. Anyway some knowledge would be greatly appreciated!!!
