Pressing bushings out is time consuming, you may want to burn them out with a torch. I've torched bushings before and it's quick and easy.

The bushings themselves can be pressed out and replaced but it just depends on the shop or mechanic as they will probably just replace the entire arm with the bushing already installed.

Best of luck.
