1974 Upper Control Arm Shafts and bushings

Ok, I have googled this to death as well as the forum. The 1974 that I have has the control arm shaft. The factory manual says "non repairable, serviced as a unit". I have found the bushings through Moog and it looks like they just press back in. Any tricks or tips on replacing them? I have found tubular ones through Summit and I'm torn on dropping $400 for those or $65 for a set of bushings.

Thoughts?

I guess it says non reparable if shaft gets damaged, but bushings are definitelly serviceable on same shaft and arm!

:shruggy:

No tricks, just remove them no matter if destroying them, and reinstall new ones as any other bushing ( with shaft in place installing the second one of course ).
