Just a couple comments, as I am in the middle of removing/replacing the rear control-arm bushings:
1) As many have noted, the autozone ball-joint press helps in removing/replacing the old/new rear bushing. It is still not as fool-proof as one would like, as the sizes of the rings are not exactly what you want them to be - but, with lots of finagling, it can be done. In the end, I found it easiest to sawzall out the old bushings, but cutting the metal, then using the autozone tool to reinstall the new bushings.
*with the autozone press, the new bushing started to press in at an angle - this caused me much grief and anxiety. I had few options, so I kept pressing - eventually, they straightened out.
2) Regarding removal of the control arms: I started on the passenger side. I decided to go with the "remove ball-joint by unscrewing the nut up against the cv joint." I forgot about the part where - yes, the ball joint will pop out, but NOT COMPLETELY. You now have a nut attached to a spinning ball joint. I could find no way to remove the nut without destroying the ball joint. I missed the caveat in the instructions - this method is to be used if you are planning on installing new ball joints (I wasn't).
3) Since my ball joints are actually in great shape, I decided to try the other method of removal on the driver-side "Remove the 3 13mm bolts holdling the LCA to the ball joint". The difficulty with this method is final removal of the LCA is a PITA, as it is difficult to clear the LCA from the ball joint. I did manage to get it out, with a fight - but I am now having major difficulties getting it back in.
Basically - I would suggest replacing both ball joints, and just doing whatever you have to do to get the old ones out (either cut the bolt, or as, I did, remove the rubber from the ball joint, then use pliers to hold the spinning bolt and unscrew the nut.)
Removing the LCA, and Replacing the bushings, while keeping the balljoints, is no easy task.
