I guess they figure when the bushings are worn out the instrument is finished... :) If you have the machines to do it with, you can simply re-mortise the keys. If not, you will have to do the job by hand. Either you carefully slice the felt out and file lightly afterwards, or find some kind of solvent. You might try a bit of acetone, diluted as necessary.
