On the other side of the bush you use a socket slightly smaller than the dia. of the bush, put a length of threaded rod through the lot with a nut each end and start winding one of the nuts.
As you tighten the nuts the socket will push the bush out of the A arm into the pipe on the other side.
To install the new bushes you reverse the process.

Somebody else suggested an idea along the lines you have explained. I reckon it would be easy enough to pull off. I don't think I have a socket quite wide enough, but I do have different widths of galvanized gas pipe.
