I got the control arm all unbolted, its basically just sitting it place.
Now I'm not sure how to go about removing the thing. Does anyone have any insight on how to get it out? I wasn't able to attempt to because I need a hand from a buddy, but if any one has some ideas to remove the lower control arm from experience, that would be awesome.

yes. I also removed the ring, you'll see once you get the rubber out.
The rubber bushing is connected to a "ring" pressed in. I used a sawzall to cut the rubber out then carefully cut the ring with the sawzall and the entire bushing popped out. Then greased up everything (a lot) and used my vise to push new bushing in. -------------------- |
