Tool can be purchased on ebay for about £35 delivered save taking the axle right off, I've only done them once on a press.

Assuming they are the same as mk4 golf, undo bolt thru bush, bottom of shocker and flexi pipe, burnt out the rubber carefully, with some tiles positioned to direct heat away from the fuel tank. Beat the metal sleeve out with a chisel. The new one then pulls in nice and easy with a bit of grease and the tool.
The guy who loaned me the tool advised against using it to pull the old bush out. Can't remember why though.
