There is a special set of Kent-Moore tools for doing this. The concept is a thick washer with a slot that slips over the control arm shaft on the inside of the bushing. The shaft has a necked-down portion and the washer tool sits on this shoulder. The shaft itself is used as the press tool in a hydraulic press.

If you're doing this much work, get a Chassis Service Manual for your car. You'll need this book for the torque specs to properly (and safely) reassemble the suspension.
