1. Cut leaf so its just the eye
2. Cut the eye off the bushing
3. Cut into bushing, use cutting wheel if you have VERY good ventilation. If not a sharp razor blade can work.
4. Cut bolt head on the outside of the box as close as you can get it
5. Cut the remaining bolt piece in half
6. Hit with bfh
7. Enjoy beer
I've done this 3 times, its super easy.
