Replacing Bushings

Hi-

I just received 12 Linear bearings. Up to now I have been using PLA bushings but hope these will improve quality.

My problem is the PLA bushings are epoxyed on really well. I was able to get them off the Y plate. One of my X end carriages broke so ill have anpther printed.

But its the X carriage i need help with. They are on really well. What is a good way to get them off without damaging the extruder or ABS part? If there is no good way I think I might have to stick with bushing for the X axis.

Ok im stupid. A good pair of vice grips can do the job fine.

Well now I have the opposite problem... How do I securely attach the linear bearings?

zip ties!, check the place where the bushing fit, there should be a groove to put a zip tie. If not, i dont see why using some glue would be a problem, just take care where you put it.
