I managed to get the bushings out and new ones pressed in. One required a 1.75" hole saw to cut out the inner rubber parts and then it would press out fairly easily.

Next question... After I re-inflate the rear air springs, can I lower the back end onto ramps to put the vehicle weight back on and then torque the bolts to the final spec?
