Drive a flat screwdriver blade through the bottom and turn over and stand in a boiling pan of water. One of those thermostat controled sauce pans is great. Set the key so the bushing sits over the plume of steam. You need a prop to hold it level. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Pick the key up and set the next one down over the steam. Remove the bushing.
