Just lucked into these at a part out and got them pulled and shipped and they obliterated the bushings when they pulled them out. I have the part I think but I need help getting the collar out of the eye. Any ideas? I was thinking a chisel or torching it?

Sawzall or hacksaw, cut two slots about 180deg apart just through the sleeve. You can deform it with a chisel and knock it out but it takes a lot of force.
