Re: upper control arm bushings
I can't say for sure because I have never attempted this job. I will assume that it "can" be done, but will possibly result in a comprehensive lesson in frustration. I suggest removing it for your sanity sake.

Back when I turned wrenches for the family automotive repair shop, I always took the arms off... it made it easier. We had some neat removal/installation tools that would allow you to do it without seperating the ball joint from the spindle, but it didn't really save any time that way.
