I'm lookin at swaping out my stock rubber upper control arm bushings for some good urethane ones.

But how do the stock bushings come out? Do they need to be pressed out or just pound the hell out of them? Also what do you have to do to get the bushing out of the eyelet on the axle? Does the axle need to be removed or can you do it with the axle still under the car?

Any info would be great.

And no I'm not just gonna upgrade to aftermarket control arms, its simply not in the budget.
