R53 upper engine mount bushing removal possible?

Can the upper engine mount dampner bushing that is mounted to the passenger strut tower be pressed out or removed? I want to have it powder coated along with my other engine mounts but am unsure if the stock rubber bushing can be removed or pressed out and then re-installed after powder.

What was pressed in can be pressed out...how do you think they got it in there.... They should be able to PC it with the bushing in. You would probably damage the coat anyways pressing it back in....
