Need help, stuck half way

I am having problem with my front end vibration. At 60-70 miles/hr the car front end feel jerky. So I thought the problem would come from arm thrust bushing. Now, I had it apart but I am stuck at half way (picture #3 bushing)because the tool that I used to push out the bushing and it's ring (picture #1 in the red box) is not long enough for me to push the rest of them out. I was thinking that I may need to use a jaw puller to get the rest off.

It seems a pain to pull them off, how about press a new one back in? So, it raises a question that I want to ask someone here that experienced with bushing.
Anyone knows the different between a bushing that comes with one piece compares with 2 pieces? I thought 1 piece would be hard to be pressed back in. 2 pieces would be much easier to install, but how reliable and quality? Will the ride be different?

Right now I can not get the entire Arm thrust off (picture#2 with loose nut) the car so I can bring it to a shop to have it press off and on a new one. Unfortunately, it still attach to the car I may have to purchase a 2 piece bushing to install after I remove this old one.

Where is a good website to purchase a new bushing? Would someone give me a link? thanks.

Thanks for any advance reply,

Jeremy
