Graham,

Not sure what you mean by the bush.
Disregarding the heat application for the time being, I would have a 1.5" 
alu tube inside the TP6.
Then I would drill a small hole near the pip pin hole through the TP6 and 
into the tube for a small self-tapping screw or rivet, if there is space for 
a rivet tool in the recess. Assuming, the TP6 is now loose, I take hold of 
the tube end at the root and slowly pull the thing out with a turning 
motion.
The screw head (unless it is countersunk) will cut a fine spiralshaped 
groove into the foam, but that is hardly a problem, because I would line the 
hole with floxed redux anyway before inserting the new part. Does that make 
sense so far ?
Actually, the screw would already be in before I start the heat application, 
because the TP6 needs to be turned once the adhesive starts to soften, and 
would have to keep turning while the adhesive cools down again before 
extraction.
