remove the powder coat, should come off with some medium sandpaper, that stuff can be pretty thick & theres no need to fight with it.
the bushings should not be that difficult to press in, i just did this last week on some front control arms & only used one of the C clamp type ball joint presses, went in with very little effort. lightly grease the inner bore of the arms & the raised are of the bushing to ease install & prevent rust if/when they get removed again. should not need to freeze the bushings.
