best way to do this is with
OEM/Ball joint/U-Joint press set (27023) | Loan-a-Tools | AutoZone.com

you will find that the press parts are just a little off the size you need so go to your local hardware store and get a 1 1/2" or could be 1 1/4 inch close nipple and a 3/4 to 1/2 inch coupling
also while your there (take your new bushing with you) get some threaded rod some nuts and washers this is to pull in the new bushing.
now your asking why dont i use the threded rod to pull out the bushing? You can what you need the kit for is the two big washers for want of a better word.

use a little anti seize or oil on the bushing to help it back in.
have fun. stay safe
