Control arm bushing are usually pressed in with a hydraulic press. They are a bearcat to get out. You will have to saw or pound out the metal center bushing, remove the rubber grommet, and then chisel out the outer metal sleeve. Once that's out, you can press the new ones in place with a U-joint press. Many times it's easier to just replace the control arm.

rastagrass agrees: rickmn's question was accurate to the tee.
