More information needed, Jared. What kind of pen kit? What kind of bushings? Are you using a pen turner's mandrel or dead and live centers? What stage of the turning/finishing process were you when this happened? For instance, did you just finish putting a CA finish on?

Agree with Michael, that we probably need more information.. However, if it is just one bushing stuck I would recommend a combination of the following two things:
1) Careful scoring with a sharp blade between the blank and bushing (Exacto or razor blade) esp if CA finished
2) Tap from inside from other end with a transfer punch (hey if it can disassemble a pen, then this should be easy)

Good luck.

It's one of them "sculptured pen kits from PSI. I'm using the pen turner's mandrel and no I don't use CA finish 'cause I don't know how to. By the way I took it off the lathe and it was stuck the pen was finished already.[:(][B)]
