Exhaust clamps like Kevinski showed with a three arm puller might do the trick. You still have the driveshaft in to push against.

Drilling and tapping a couple holes in the center of the bushing assembly (between the bushings in it might allow you to thread some bolts in for something to grab on to. The holes shouldn't affect anything once the oakie bushing is eventually installed.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
