for the average shade tree person fiddling around with his/her mopar, it is simply not worth the expense and aggravation to try to remove and replace these bushing. i worked on mine for about a week and finally bit the bullet. i just took them to a machine shop and had them removed. the poly ones i wanted put in were also missing the sleeves. i just tossed them had NAPA replacement pressed back in. the whole adventure cost me $85 BUT i also had my control arms blasted spotless and the bushings pressed in correctly.

as much as i hate having anyone other than me work on my car, there is a point where i throw in the towel and let a professional step in....

I do a lot of rebuilding in the way of rebuilding lower control arms, for resale, and custom rebuilding of customers original parts.
I'm going to remember what one of the last customers told me, when i finished up his parts.
That he couldn't have done it what the parts, and tools would have cost him, so it was no big deal in paying the FEDEX people, the shipping cost to get them to me, and then me sending them back to him.
At times it does pay off to have somebody do them, that knows how, and who you can trust.
