Cut all the way through it. Then use the method I used and it will come right out.

Just thought I'd add my tip: after tightening the tool as much as it'll go, hit the back side circle plate with a hammer a bunch of times and that'll let you turn it a bit more. Repeat that until it comes out. You'll need a big punch to reach it though.

You would be better using a hole cutter and a sawzall.

Here's the hole cutter.

I’ve got the factory one out already just need to pop out a z1 bushing and put a new one in. Was just hoping for a tool to make it easier. Def will go in there with a mallet

Freeze the bushing for a few days. You don't need the tool just use a piece of iron with am all thread rod and some nuts

Ended up using a long bolt and some big washers to press new one in. Used a c clamp and oil filter wrench to pop the old one out. Worked like a charm

Not exactly sure what size this all is but I just went to lowes and found this all for less than 30 bucks. The most expensive piece was a piece of flat steel to put behind the bushing hole. The oil filter wrench worked to push the bushing out a couple inches to where I could grab it and wrestle it out by hand
