Suspension bushing removal

Good evening all,
I just recieved my Abott Racing springs today and quickly went to work installing them. I also bought new shocks and all new bushings for the beast. Well, in a naive way i thought "oh I installed the suspension the first time so replacing bushings will be easy". Yeah, I was way wrong. In the time i thought i could rebuild the entire back suspension i finished about 1/2 of one side. I clumsily replaced the bushings. Does anyone have any good suggestions on removal and installation of 25 year old rotted bushings. I just lubed them with soapy water for installation and went to town with a vise and screwdiver....i chewed them up pretty good though. For removal i pretty much just destroyed them w/ a drill bit then chiselled them out. Take care and thanks.
