TR3A #9 Removing the silentbloc rubber pieces. From the steering linkage bush

I was able to push the silentblocs out of the steering linkage bush Housing with a gear puller, but the bushings left a lot of rubber behind, (that is real stubborn!).

I don't want to damage the linkage housing by scraping it out. Got suggestions & standard practice on how to proceed from the forum.

Learned that the internal sleeves are part of the silentblocs and must be removed also.
so, per forum advise I scored the sides of the sleeves with an electric jig saw and tapped them out with a punch and hammer. Was pretty easy, once steered in the right direction( no pun intended)

I' m replacing with the delrin pins from TRF.
