Default rear UCA and compensater bushing replacment

I couldn't find anything about pressing the bushing out. From the videos I have seen I gather most people just replace the whole RUCA and compensator arm instead of just replacing the bushings.

Does anyone have experience with pressing them out?

I am not positive what car you are doing this on. But I know on my EF, the front UCA does not have a removable ball joints. Maybe that is the case here and it is just part of the arm?

You can definitely press out the rear UCA bushings. The reason most people replace the entire arms is that Honda does not offer the UCA bushings as a separate part. That and pressing bushings is kind of a PITA.
