You should be able to just push them out.....

Re: alum upgrades

If they don't cone out you may have to mask off somehow

i think there glued in and i cant mask them because they will melt in the oven.

i tried threading in a screw and pulling but the screw pulled out. pushing with other tools no luck. thanks for the input.

You could heat it up first to see if they can handle it. If they melt then they will come out easy. If you can't get them out in one piece, your going to have to try and find a bushing that will work. Redcat won't have them. I'm sure they are just pressed in there.

Have you tried putting them in boiling water for a short time and the trying to push them out? Just a thought....
