If you have the tools the best way would be with a hydraulic internal bearing puller. If you don't have the tools, use a drift.

I done mine with one of those one ended hacksaws, and cut down through the bearing and then knocked a screw driver down behind it and levered is out, no risk of damaging radius arm it is solid. Have a look at this www.eunos.com/keith/mini/files/radius_arm_short.pdf , he uses a similar approach.

The puller is the best choice, but the most common DIY method is the hacksaw. I chose a third method when I did mine. I made a piece that would just catch the lip of the bearing/bushing and used my slide hammer to pull them out.
I assume you know that when you put the new parts in you'll need to ream the bushing to size.
