Uhh, unless your new control arm bushings came with new outer sleeves (the poly ones don't AFAIK) you just shot yourself in the foot. Even the OEM MOOG bushings don't have the outer sleeves.

AutoZone has a bushing tool kit that presses out the old bushings and leaves the outer sleeves intact. It also presses in the new ones opposite of removal, and you'd have been done in less than half the time it took to hack them out with your air chisel...
