As title. Anyone care to shed some light on the best way to go about this on my G/S?
Present bush is scored and oil leaks past the o rings.

My quess is if you have leaks because the o ring doesn’t seal properly due to scoring then you have a two piece sleeve/bush. I’ve not done it before as I’ve always stopped leaks with new o rings but I believe the one piece sleeve/bush was an upgrade by BMW to solve this problem and can be retro fitted.I seem to remember I have the 2 bushes. So it's possible to press these out without splitting the box?
You can ,as said above replace the two bushes with a single long one,My quess is if you have leaks because the o ring doesn’t seal properly due to scoring then you have a two piece sleeve/bush.

Iirc you need a paralever one.
You will struggle to press them out without splitting though,
I can’t think that you could press in any other direction apart from inward.
You could try cutting a thread on the inside and screwing a bolt into the bush,then you could drive it out,or it may even release while cutting the thread,
BUT,it’s a thin wall bush and may well just grip more into its housing.
For the cost of a new gasket I’d just open it up and do it on the press
Interested to know how ,as you are pushing/pulling into a void,?unless you used a centre support.Perhaps I was lucky.
I made a tool fitting into the new bush, and using M8 or M10 studding pulled the new one piece bush into place whilst pushing the old 2 bushes out.
No splitting of drive.
Have a search in here. I did a write up with photographs 3 or 4 years ago.
Took the drive box off this afternoon and attempted to get the cover plate off. No luck - it's like it's welded on
