Are there any videos on how to remove control arm bushings?

You may also want to replace the ball joints while the control arms are out. They are pretty cheap and if you do I recommend taking them to a machine shop and having them drill the rivets out. Hammers and heat DO NOT work. And the bottom is sandwiched in the control arm. Cost me $10 per side and took him all of 10 minutes for all four. That's after he spent almost an hour with a torch and air hammer to get one rivet loose. Drilling is much cleaner and faster with a big drill press.

That was the first thing I tried to do, so did the machinist. No luck, I beat the crap out of the upper BJ with an 8lb attitude adjuster in a vise after grinding off the rivets. Would not break free for me. I even bent my biggest punch and broke the handle on my 32oz ball peen. If no one else has to drill them that's awesome. Bad luck for me.
