King Pin Bushings

Good morning everyone, Need to replace king pin bushings on my Case 580 Super M Series 2. Any tips or tricks on how to pull them out? Since they are pressed in a blind hole, not sure what type of puller would make it in there, or do I need to cut them out(IE cut one side of the bushing with an 1/8" die grinder) Thanks Paul

    I usually put a run of weld around the entire ID of the bushing - as it cools they will shrink & come out very easily

    Thanks ALR, I may give that a whirl!
