I will. Here is the general idea. Black is the control arm, Red is the outer metal, Grey is the rubber material, Green is the second metal part, and Blue is the bolt sleeve.
Some type of fork needs to be inserted in between the bottom of the arm and the middle metal bushing to prevent damage to the bushing during removal.
Once the real ones are made, there is no reason why you couldn't destroy the inner bushing and then use a standard press to get the outer bushing out.
