fair point. But just how hot did you heat it? I'm talking about hot enough to not hold it but not as high as boiling water. Say 150-180F.
We only heated it hot enough to get the old bushing to move under the shop’s press by applying a little heat at a time and testing it with the press. Didn’t budge until the temper was lost and then it was too late.

a proper bushing removal screw tool did the job much better than the hydraulic press with a little elbow grease, even on that large rear LCA bearing.
