In my experience the best way to remove them is to use an arrangement with a 
"C" clamp.  A BFH dosen't work because the rubber absorbs most of the force 
but with a clamp you can load it until the force is great enough to cause the 
adhesion between the parts to yeild.
Just did a complete front end on my '76 MGB this past spring, the worst was 
getting the new upper bushings between the arms on the shock.  I squeezed 
them together with a "C" clamp while I used another to force the assembaly 
into place.  I get out of breath just thinking about it.  Again a BFH wont 
work here for the same reason.
It sure makes a difference once that job is done, good luck.
