It turned out that two of them were really tough and the rest came right out. Turn and then kinda prying with a pliers. The two that were stuck bad the weld had penetrated all the way through to the bore so it was causing all the trouble. Did a little cleanup of the weld and new ones fit real nice now. Thanks guys!

I've seen that problem with the bushings in the steering stem- they were terrible to get out once they'd squished in around the weld.
