Ok, Im trying to remove the upper bushings from a pair of works shocks and 400ex shocks. The bottoms came right out of both easy. The upper bushings are being a pain. The 400ex bushings have some sort of rubber around them holding them in tight. Should I just beat on them and try to knock them out? For the works shocks I have no idea what to do. I tried prying them apart with a flathead screwdriver where they overlap the outside of the eyelets but they are solid. I dont want to take a chance on ruining this set of works. Does anyone have experince removing bushings from works or stock suspension? Thanks!!

I am just gonna suggest using a small socket to tap it out.

Pry the rubber seal out and then use a 15mm(maybe 14 or 16 cant remember) and use a vice to press the bushing out.
