I'd gladly pay someone to take me out of misery by pulling and replacing the bushing but I don't know who that would be. Couldn't even bear to look at the car this past weekend.
I just did this very same task last weekend on a '39. Took about two hours total for all four.
Want to ship them to me? I'll do them promptly.
It's easy with the correct tools.
