Is there enough clearance to slide a knife blade between the spar and socket
? If you sight down the pin hole when you do it you might just be able to se
e what the problem is an maybe even cut through it!

 also doesn't look like the spar got glued to anything, because I am able to
 rotate the spar, and wiggle it just but it won't slide out of the socket. W
hat I suspect is that some flox might have oozed into the inside face of the
 socket which and might be preventing the bushing from sliding out. I grease
d everything, but did not grease the inside faces of the sockets.  If all fa
ils I was going to cut the outer face of the socket to extract the spar. Per
haps I could reglue that face back in place. Any ideas would be appreciated.
