Message:   Hey Frank, only way I know of that's even close to 'easy': soak the doo-dah out of them with PB Blaster or Kroil oil, make up a press using a Grade 8 bolt/nut that's slightly more than twice the length of shackle bolt, plus a couple of very heavy washers [even cut some out of 1/8"-3/16" plate stock] and then get a driver like a socket or piece of steel pipe that just a bit smaller than the O.D. of the bushing's rubber. Driver has to have a fairly decent wall thiskness. Some claim you can then use the new bushing to drive out the old one and install all at once with your press. Others say to drive out the old, drive in the new with the bolt press. One or the other should work fine, as long as you're doing it and not me.
