Can you cut through the radius rod right next to (hard up against) the large bush retaining washer? If you can this will remove the 'shoulder' where the OD of the bar increases between the front bush and the control arm, and the smaller OD section that passes through the front bush should just push forward and drop out.

Do you have an oxy-acetyline torch? You could heat the radius rod near the front bush and bend it through 90°. This would give you something to hold in order to prevent the RR rotating as you undo the front nut.
How and where (on the RR) did you manage to break the RR?
