    Just did this. It put up a tough fight, but I won with a heat gun to 'soften' the bushing. Hope that helps.

    Boil it to soften it up...you won't risk burning or melting it.

    We in America have a convenience called the microwave oven. Put the bushing in a suitable container with water. A minute or two, voila!
    Careful the bushing and water will burn. I do the same for door plugs etc.

    In addition to heating I also used two pieces of wood in a vise. I started with the hot bushing slightly cocked to the side and slowly compressed the vise. With one I used thing pliers to help compress the edges enough to slip into the the metal bracket.
