    I have a 12 ton press, so I've been able to remove and replace OEM bushings in control arms. I have done bushings (lower rear shock bushing in the knuckle) on the car. I used a hole saw to cut out the rubber part of the bushing, a sawzall to cut the metal shell, a punch to knock the shell out, then a large threaded rod with a variety of washers, sockets, etc. to pull the new bushing into place.

      I think I might be better off buying entire part or paying a shop to do those bushings. I dont have half that stuff, especially the press. I can do the cv axle i think and of course the rear upper control arm.
