Revolvers how to remove crane bushing.

[Montalban]

I have an old colt official police in .22LR that I want to restore and the first thing would be to replace the ejector rod. From diagrams on the interweb, I see I need to remove the crane bushing before I can get the cylinder and spring off. The bushing is threaded though, so I cant just go after with a pair of pliers.

Is there some trick or tool I'm missing here?

Ok so it seems theres a specific tool for this.

However I can only find them in the states and they wont ship to Canada. Does anyone know of a store that carries them on this side of the border?

Oh I was sure I read in on their site they didn't. I'll recheck.
