I'd suggest a C-clamp and a large socket (like a 1-1/2" or something, don't remember now).
The new ones are a three piece design, right?

I did a set of them while working @ HRM........ Dave and I used a torch to melt/burn the old bushings, then hammered them out...... made a HUGE mess and STANK TO HIGH HELL.........

To do them again, I'd try the C-clamp and socket method.

I can take pictures of a axle removed from the car.
But I'm not going to take the bushings out for no reason. That's a heck of a lotta work/frustration for a picture.
