1 socket with the inside diameter that is greater than the shackle bushing.
1 socket that has the same diameter as the bushing.
1 bolt that will fit thru said sockets with needed washers and nuts.
NOTE: sometimes the bushing is really tight. Use Hacksaw, loosen blade place blade thru bushing - install blade with teeth towards inside of hacksaw - tighten - saw.

My dad cobbled up something similar for me when I was faced with that job. It's at the bottom of this page:

I stayed out of this because I thought you were referring to the Bushings in the Frame. Folks make a "stepped" punch to drive them out.
On the Springs, all I did was pound/wedge a small "junk" screwdriver as shown to spread the eye. The Bushings pop right out and in with just a small amount of hammer encouragement.
