I need to replace my whole back spring setup (springs, shackles and brackets). I bought some shackles with rubber bushings but I have polyurethane kit on the way for my springs and it includes the bushing for the shackle so I am going to replace the shackle bushing with the poly one. Is there an easy way to remove the shackle bushing?? Any tips?? I burned the old bushings out of my springs but that sure made a mess.

Use a large and small socket and a vise/press and press them out like you do when removing a u-joint.
