If you can't push them out using a large vise, you can either drill them out or

Use one socket that's larger then the bushing that the metal of the a-arm can rest

Use a second socket that's smaller then the metal hole the bushing is in. Place it
against the rubber of the bushing.
Place this in a vice, and screw it down, pressing the smaller
