Seems so simple...

Remove door striker bolt, remove washer, insert new bushing, reinstall.

Everything as planned but the washer will not come off of the striker bolt> Tried wd-40 punch and hammer, no luck.  Tried turning washer to catch threads and turn, no luck.  Cant install new bushing without removing the washer.  Any thoughts?

Split bushing lengthwise, pry it open and slip over bolt.

Use a press, or push the bolt out in a vice using a deep socket. You can also buy the striker bolt complete with the bushing installed. They're typically on the HELP rack at auto parts stores.
