Just unhook the arms from the front mounts, drop them down, drill a bunch of holes in the rubber around the bolt hole sleeve, knock out what's left with a big socket that's the same size as the bushing hole. Then pop in the new poly ones with a little lithium grease, or whatever is provided with the new bushings. No torch needed. If they are as rotted as mine were, they won't put up much of a fight.
