Removing the Lower control arm bushings is a job. I used a torch and burned the rubber out and then put a hack saw together with the blade to the inside and cut the metal sleeve to remove it. I'm sure you will get some other methods suggested. Also the biggest mistake made on assembly, leave the lower control arm nuts loose until the car is on the ground and completely finished with the torsion bars adjusted so the car has all its weight on them before tightening. Otherwise the bushings are in a bind and will tear as the car settles on them, you will drive your alignment guy nuts as to why your ride height keeps going down. It will have to be done on a lift I had my alignment guy torque them.
