The shackle pin can be loosened to the point that it will fall ou by heating it red hot. The bushing itself is best cut with a hacksaw. NOS shackles can be had, but much easier to deal with are the teflon? bushed shackles from Speedway. Alan

A handy tool to remove bushings is a "muffler cutter". It is a chisel with a scooped end that peels back and curls the bushing. It is available anywhere professional tools are sold.

You can also just run a tap into a bushing, and... when the taps bottoms out the bushing will screw itself out, as like in a pilot bushing in the crankshaft. Or tap the tap with a hammer to drive out a bushing, like in a leaf spring.
