Good evening,

The bushing is pressed into the control arm. You need a bushing press to remove and install the bushing.

I attached a picture of the arm and circled the bushing for you.

It would be better to replace the entire arm. Rock Auto has a replacement for $20.00. I attached a picture for you.
