I have sometimes had to cut thru the side of the bushing with a hacksaw blade - go slow, keep the cut an even depth thru the side of the bushing and try not to cut into the steering box housing itself. When you get almost all the way thru the bushing steel backing, you can try driving it from the top and it should start to collapse where the cut is and relieve the pressure against the housing so you can finish driving it out. Be patient.
