seems like you are in a situation where the hacksaw was a bit of an extreme measure. Did you use any penetrating oil, impact hammer or any heat or freezing fluid.

I tried everything that i could to get it out,but to no avail. :evil:
Heat,shock,penetrating oil!!
I will get the wishbone in a press and along with heat i'm sure it will go.I had the same problem on the rear and the press soon sorted that out!! :D

I do not believe the bushes are able to be pressed out of the front lower wishbone I tried.
