I don't know what tooling was used on them, but I would think with a little ingenuity it can be done by the home mechanic. I'd experiment with a few junk rods first. My first thought would be to use a lathe live or dead center in a press. Just enough to flare the bushing slightly. With that, it's not going anywhere.
