For what it's worth, I found pressing new bushes in impossible because they were in there so tight that they bent M12 coarse thread bar trying to press them in.
However, the axle bush was by far the easiest to remove and refit. Chop it down either side of the axle ears, remove the section of bush and sleeve from in-between the ears, then just tap out the remnants.
Refitting, I used a woodworking vice as a spreader to keep the ears apart, then smacked the new bushes in with a hammer. They went in very easily as there's not as much surface area holding them in, and so much less friction.
