Backhoe Replacing Bushings

[mmirowski]

I have a Case 580 SK and am trying to replace the coupler. This is attached to the dipper with two bushing. I cut them with out with cut off saw but would like to know how to remove them from the dipper. I think they were pressed in. I tried hitting them out but no luck. Any advice is appreciated.

welcome

I'm not sure what the coupler is?

Were the bushings bronze?

if you slotted the busing it should slide right out with a couple taps with a punch and hammer.
Some times there is a bolt or pin or grease fitting catching on them.
