I have a hydraulic press that I used to remove and install the bushings in my spring perches (no doubt overkill). You could probably press them in with a large vice or 'C' clamp. The spring comes with the bushings installed. I may have to ream them, I don't know yet because I don't have the spring or shackles, yet.
Our club has tools we can borrow. I used their spring spreader to remove old spring. They also have a reamer for the bushings.
