You need a press or vice, and an assortment of sockets, and metal tubes. Various bits of wood and metal come in handy too, and some WD40. Basically you have to push the old bush housings out using enourmous force, while ensuring that you dont bend the arm. A few careful cuts with a Dremel cutting wheel also helps to get the old stuff free. Use the grease supplied to lubricate all the surfaces and to help in pushing the polybush into it's housing.
I gave up with these methods when trying to remove mine, I did try honest In the end I got the blow torch out and went to work they soon came out then - Note: do this outside, and wear safety goggles and a mask, the fumes they give off are not nice!
