Someone needs to sell the stock control arms with the bearing already installed!

fair point. But just how hot did you heat it? I'm talking about hot enough to not hold it but not as high as boiling water. Say 150-180F.
We only heated it hot enough to get the old bushing to move under the shop’s press by applying a little heat at a time and testing it with the press. Didn’t budge until the temper was lost and then it was too late.

a proper bushing removal screw tool did the job much better than the hydraulic press with a little elbow grease, even on that large rear LCA bearing.
