There are two ways to remove the bushes with out a press, you can either drill a series of holes in the rubber of the bushes and then hit the outer part of the bush as to distort it like squashing it and this is usually enough to distort and dislodge it so you can knock them out, or you can use a torch to heat them up and burn the rubber out and do the same this with the hammer to distort and then knock them out, to push them back in I use two pieces of pipe and a vice, put one piece on the receiving side of the bush so it can slide into place and not hit the jaw of the vice and use the other piece of pipe to push the bush in so the a arm doesn't hit the vice. Hope this makes sense.

cheers
