    Like the title says I need a control arm bushing removal tool or somebody with a hydraulic press they would be willing to let me use. Can pay with beer, cash, or sex.

      If you're trying to remove the control arm bushing from the arm you can melt it off and then clean up the surface of the arm. If you're trying to remove it from the 'lollipop' housing you can cut the rubber out from the center and then make a cut in the steel ring with a hacksaw to split it (try not to cut into the cast part) and then you can pry it out with a screwdriver or something. If you're trying to remove it from both, you do both haha. I've used this method a few times and it works well, don't burn it out inside though that smoke is nasty. 

      I highly recommend poly as a replacement, worth the extra cost on the install alone, just make sure you lube it up a lot so it doesn't squeak.

        those are all perfect ways to get this done.

        i have also 'pressed' in new OEM rubber mounts via a big hammer and some 2x4s. this is not a part that needs a precise fit. just make sure you line it up right the first time, or you'll have to start over with the burning/hacksawing.

          It's for my Mercedes there is a lot more rubber, I would like to avoid burning them out if possible.
