[DeTomaso] Does the Factory Manual cover replaceing the Control Arm Bushings?

While the method I wrote up a while ago required a lathe - once set up, it works pretty slick, especially since there are a few to do.

The Ford Service manual does not have much.   Attached is cut/paste sections.

When (or IF) I ever get time, I wanted to "rent" an Aarm bushing removal/installation Kit from local auto parts store and see if it has the brackets needed to press these bushings out.

I can't find my manual and am wondering if it covers removing the bushings?  I have read the great articles on Pantera Place, but wondered if Ford had a different way?  It's hard to believe that they intended you to have to cut or grind off the flanges on the outside edges before pressing the outer sleeves out?  Did Ford assume that the bushings would never be replaced?
