The various methods using wet paper towels or grease need a smooth inner surface on the bushing to work properly. I'd suggest using a die grinder and a carbide rotary file to hog it out to a thin shell, and a cape chisel to split the remaining material and allow it to shrink away from the crankshaft bore. Jerry
