These bushings are prone to deformation - relatively soft aluminum. Maybe try a long, thin steel rod or screwdriver shaft through the holes to get it to budge, maybe also applying some head to the housing. Otherwise, sounds like a call to Dillon - I hear their tech support is pretty good.

Another idea - get one of those wart removal freezing kits, get a swab really cold, and put the swab inside the Aluminum bushing to shrink it before trying to get it off (I think they go counterclockwise). Otherwise maybe Kroil if it's corroded in there...

hmmmm...all of mine have come out pretty easily and I usually tighten them pretty good
if ya need a hand... sometimes things just take a different set of eyes (or hands lol)... (I see you're in the Niagara region...same here)
try a shorter allen key maybe? something with a little less flex/give. I've got some graphite powder should you get it out and want to try a dry-lube in the future
