There are renderings in the K.R. Wilson catalog. To remove they pulled out the center bolt and then using the hole created pulled through a plug that pushed out the shell of the shackle. The insertion tool pressed the outer shell into the perch since there were two different diameter shackles for different years they used 4 different guides.
There is a posting on this web page for homemade tools, do a search and your going to find different examples.

I have a couple of those tools always wondered how it was used.

I pushed stud out, got rubber out and sliced thru the outer metal case with a hacksaw.
