... and if you had called them swing arms or maybe used the word "lower" before you freaked out, maybe you would not have got responses that you found so offensive.

See image below. It is designed to be compressed when installing. A small engine piston ring compressor or as others have mentioned, leverage 2 worm drive hose clamps will accomplish the same thing. https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-18500-S...96652412&psc=1
Better version: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W9FW7ST...dDbGljaz10cnVl No need to freeze them or resort to other extremes. BMW never designed them to be replaced in the field. USE big time caution when pushing them out. Make sure the bushing tool does NOT hit the face of the arm bore. You can just use PVC material and avoid destroying the arms. Many posters just cut out the inside rubber and then it was easy to pull/push out the outer shell. Helpful?
