Re-use Subframe Bushings?

Hi there, The patient is a 1989 Audi 90 quattro.  I recently found a crack in the rear subframe that has been getting larger.  I got a replacement from Chris Semple but the bushings in it are shot.  Pricing at Jim Ellis Audi or ECS Tuning is crazy for one of the bushings (95.00) and it doesn't seem that any aftermarket rubber bushings are available anymore for this old and unique auto.  I believe the ones on my cracked subframe are in good shape.  Is it possible to remove them without destroying them?
Alternatively, does anyone have source for some reasonably-priced bushings? I've checked the usual  - ecstuning, partsgeek, autohausaz, etc.
Suggestions?
Thanks, Chris Perry
