IMO it's almost certain the Silentblocs will need to be replaced anyway; at
least they never seemed to last more than a few years for me (until I
converted to solid brass anyway). But this type of tool seems to work to
remove them without further damage:

(Note that I don't particularly endorse Tool Warehouse, it was just a
convenient photo)
Two things that may not be obvious (mine did not come with instructions) :
1) You should drive the tool into place far enough that the pin rests on the
curved part of the jaw.
2) If the forcing screw is not long enough, add a spacer of some sort
between the jaw & the pin. I used a 1/2" impact socket sideways.
