Once it's moving it can be wound out with the extractor, and when fitting the new bushes, make sure the radiused end enters first, and you've cleaned the inside of the loop with emery and a smear of LM grease.

Well, after further doses of WD40, I decided to give up on trying to pull the remnants of the rear upper bush out and instead gave it a clout with a 30mm socket and a 4lb hammer. I was very surprised to see some movement and 2 mins later the old bush casing was out with little sign of rust, happy days!! Just the other side to do now then back on the road soonest
