Wanted to share this with everyone as I found this worked great with no damage to nylatron bushings. Used a open end 1 1/16" wrench and A-arm in bench vise between 2 pieces of wood. Tap the wrench as close to a-arm as possible and be patient it will come out. Then just clean them inside and out with a dry cloth or shop paper towel (no cleaning solvents!!) and they are ready to go in replacement a-arm.

That's how I do it for the first one then I use a socket to drive the other side out. The good thing about the Nylatron is that they install/remove easier than the oilite bushings and aren't as brittle so there's less chance of damaging them. They also last just as long as the oilite version.
