    It's hard to remove the CAB from the control arm without destroying the bushing.
    It is possible though with the use of a ball joint separator tool.

      After re reading the question, I agree with Erik. Now, I might as well post what I thought was being asked since I took a minute to take a picture of my little "tool". It's really just a chunk of metal from a garage door spring setup that I shaved down, painted, and cut just right so it would fit on the lip of the CAB, but pass through the lollipop.

      Sooo, if you have any reason to remove the bushing from the bracket and dont want to damage either piece do something like this -- (tiny pic, thumbnail size bc the full size was way too blurry) It's probably a little more than a quarter inch thick, beefy.

      Of course it only works with a hydraulic press, but thats it.

        I'd say if you want CAB's with M3 geomety that you want to be able to remove, get some Treehouse bushings. Otherwise wait until you can do the arms and the M3 bushings at the same time.
