I have touched the topic recently in a posting linked to below.

RD calls the process "swaging" and mentions the involvement of pliers in the process.

Another way of doing it is to hammer a female cone down over the bushing to reduce its inner diameter. Possibly also to make the bushing conical with the purpose to reduce movements along the axis.

There are more details to the job, and it is only for the really competent people to do it. To keep the axis at the true center of the casing is not exactly easy.
