With one of these. http://www.summitracing.com/search/d...rder=Ascending
As flimsy as the stock bar is, I doubt it's even possible to swap the bushings without distorting it.

You can rent a bushing press tool for free from a local parts store.
Example:
Or use a vise and a couple of appropriatly sized sockets.

I used a sawzall and cut it on opposite sides to the edges, then just pushed them out. I was too lazy to get to my shop press lol.
