I was faced with the same situation on the 8 but had second thoughts about
removing the bushing. In the end I left it in and had the painters
ultrasonically strip the thing in the degreaser tank. That worked reasonably
well. In the end there was a very small amount of oil that leached out of
the bearing or surround during the bake cycle which stained the powder coat
at one small spot on the bottom (depends probably on which way you hang it
on the rack) which even with the white coating was almost unnoticeable. Am
satisfied with the paint job and it surely was better than beating the
housing senseless with a hammer...
