Just IMHO, I'd rather take it off and put a new one in instead of finding a PITA bushing won't come out and stressing out.

Just curious.

But if you have a shop press, do you mean it is a drill press or a hydraulic press? If Hydraulic press, how many tons?
The main reason I wanted to swap the bushings is to use the Meyle HD bushings instead of the stock ones.

As far as the press, I did mean a hydraulic press. I think it's 10 ton but it might be more. But I do also have a nice mid 50's Walker Turner drill press. But even if the arm has to come off the car, having the exact tool to press with is much better than using a big socket or bushing driver.
