I've just replaced mine with polyurethane bushes, which are supposed to be better than the original rubber bushes.

I used a torch to break the bond between the rubber and the metal shell. This takes a while to heat up enough, then the thing just pushes out. I then used a hack saw to cut through the metal shell, carefully, so as not to mark the inside of the bar. Then clean the inside face of the bar where the new bush will fit. Special installation grease is used to lubricate the poly bush and it just squeezes in with a vice. You could also use a threaded bar with some big washers to pull the bush into the rod.
