This shackle bushing had a bent pin jammed in it. It's been the toughest shackle bushing I've come across so far.

The puller is a generic setup that you should be able to rent.

The adjustable wrenches are a 16" and an 18".

I've been advised that using chrome plated sockets as shown in
this picture is not safe. I should have used impact sockets that are less prone to shattering.
