I need to remove and replace the poly bushings from my rear trailing arms. They are squeaking and popping and I can't stand it anymore.

The bushings are held in place with JB Weld. The arms are freshly powder coated and have new bearings in place so I don't want to use a torch to melt the JB Weld.

Any suggestions on how to remove the bushings and clean up the inside diameter of the trailing arms without using a torch?

Thanks in advance.
