For years I have had the idea of using two E-Xacto chisel blades, a
jig setup on a drill press with an alignment pin for the bottom, key
alignment lines, a verticle holding devise, a chuck alignment
pointer.  One stroke will remove both bushings, size the mortise
exactly by leaving a felt and glue substrate.  Far less stress on the
button.  Slight lateral movement can move an off center bushing.

A similar setup for removing the front bushings could save an imense
amout of work and make the job far superior.
