I finally got around to fixing this today. The booger bushing worked perfectly because like in Billy99's pictures, only the top one was disintegrated.
I was having trouble getting the bushing to actually seat in fully, so I ended up reaming it with a 5.5mm drill bit. Reaming with a 5.5mm only took off a few shavings of rubber, but what I think was really key was the friction from the drill bit heating up the rubber a bit and making it more malleable. Maybe somebody should try heating the bushing up in hot water next time.
I placed the ring end of a spanner over the end of the bushing and carefully forced it home with a hammer.
If you have yet to fix this Billy, I have a second bushing available for quite cheap.
