Differential Bushing Removal

When I was installing my solid diff bushings, I took the assembly to a local machine shop and they pressed the old ones out and pressed the new ones in for only $5.00.

Damn, this isn't good news. I have the Mazda Motorsports bushings that I am going to press in, but all I have is a c-clamp style bushing tool.
Does the stock one have a metal ring that lines the outside?

Worst case you can cut them out with a hacksaw as nkeehn did. Pressing the new ones in isn't bad.
