IIRC, when I did mine some time ago, I placed them over a wooden block and used a socket of a similar diameter to the bush, and clouted it with a sledge hammer to get it out.
Carefully line it up and hit it sharply and squarely, and it should just pop out.
Or you may just prefer to follow the Zone's Wiki guide:

tools are at a minimum as i'm away in college.
i wanted to re use it because its an eccentric one, and secondly i need the car to be moving asap.
by the way, just to clarify, i'm talking about removing the bush from the wishbone, not seperating the bushing from its housing

The way I've done it before is to force a very small screwdriver between the pin and bush and inject a little silicon grease from an aerosol into the gap. Repeat at several points around the circumference, and you should be able to pull/twist it off by hand.
Every trace of the silicon grease must be removed before reusing the bush.

White spirit is usually good for shifting grease.
