Not sure if this has been posted before but i just had to do this and couldn't find how to do it on the forum, rather then taking it to a place with a press to do it.
Tools and Stuff Required:
WD-40 or RP7 etc
Bench Vice
Hammer
2 1/2 Pipe Fitting or Socket (this is the only size i found that fits over the bush but still touches the control arm)
Beer
Steps:
1. Remove control arm from car.
2. Soak with WD-40 and let it sit for awhile.
3. Crush the end of it in the bench vice until there is a gap all the way around (should only take 4 times to do all sides)
4. Put into the vice with the pipe fitting on the end and press with vice until the sleeve is inside half way.
5. Hit with hammer a few times and bush will pop out and your free to install the new bushes, i used 2 piece whiteline/superpro/nolthane buses which just slip in over getting new press in steel sleeved bushes
6. Drink beer
