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.

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.

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.
