I use the bench vise at the shop to press them in and out. Set it in the vise so the end of the bracket is being pressed with the jaw and position the shock so that the other jaw is just below where it will come out the other side. Use some grease on the bracket and bushing when pressing them back in so you don't damage the bushing.
