1. A bushing displacing system for displacing at least a portion of a bushing assembly relative to an opening in a structural member, the bushing assembly comprising a bushing housing and a bushing pin comprising first and second end portions, the bushing displacing system comprising:
a pullbar socket;
a first pin;
a receiver; and
an actuator comprising an actuator rod; whereby
the first pin secures the pullbar socket to the first end portion of the bushing pin;
the actuator rod engages the pullbar socket such that displacement of the actuator rod in a first direction displaces the pullbar socket in the first direction;
the receiver is configured to engage the structural member and supports the actuator such that operation of the actuator to displace the actuator rod in the first direction displaces the bushing pin in the first direction relative to the structural member.
