help replacing MFI bell crank bushing

[ty901]

all;
engine's out for a trans swap. this is one of the "...while i'm in there" chores. now that i'm in there, there doesn't appear to be a way to easily replace the bushings for the MFI bell crank. see pic. any ideas greatly appreciated.
TIA

You'll have to remove either the pump or the throttle. If it were up to me, I'd do the throttle. I don't know another way around this.

You can buy a set of bronze bushings and split them into to pieces. You will want to use the thinnest blade you can find for this process. Some hobby bandsaws have such a blade.There is very little load on these bushings and although removing the butterfly housing or pump is the proper way to replace these bushing, the split bushing method will work.

DING!
Henry has the answer. the light bulb went on for me yesterday & i thought "...why not" ? i do have a razor saw (Exacto, if anybody's counting) and would strongly suggest anyone else to use one as well. the material removed _may_ be the thickness of a business card. again, no real stress on the parts in question so i feel completely comfortable. thanks all and hopefully this saves someone some time down the road.
cheers
