It's not going to be pretty, no matter how you get it out.
Most likely the thru bolt has rust welded itself to the inner bushing sleeve; making your job a living hell.

First thing: forget about saving the old bushing. It's destroyed even before you get the retainer nut off.

There''s the penetrating oil gambit or
Heat.

Considering that you've got to replace the control arm anyway (cuz of dad's sorjourn into the pucker bushes), burn off both the retainer nut and the bolt head, spread the mounting ears and pull the old arm out of the way. Make sure you have either a hose or a fire extinguisher handy cuz you just know something's going to light up.
