You'll need to heat up the bushing and then gently twist/pull it out. It's
a press-in so once it's spun in the hole, it's basically toast. We have
fixed these at the dealership a few times from other techs tightening them
too much and spinning them in the holes. Heat, twist/pull, and replace with
a new one (I use either a plastic epoxy or JB Weld).

So the bushing is just glued into the manifold?
And if pulled on hard enough the bushing will come
out?
THANKS!
