What’s next step? Another rear subframe bushing question

I am assuming that the outer rim is a metal ring, I suggest this: Use a hack saw to cut through the bushings outer metal collar. Use a small chisel/screwdriver and tap it between the metal collar and the sub frame where the cut is causing the collar cut to roll/bend inwards. Try not to gouge the sub frame. Slowly tap the chisel down, rolling the collar inwards. You may need to go back and cut it as you go. When you have "rolled" the metal collar all the way through, it should tap/press out easier.

Heating the subframe until the rubber melts makes them fall right out. There is a layer of rubber between the subframe and the metal sleeve of the bushing and when it melts, the sleeve will fall out. Might need an oxy/acetylene torch though, not sure if a propane one will get hot enough.
