try using a drill bit around the outside of the rubber but the inside of the steel, just let it spin around the outside of the rubber.

Air hammer. Put the shaft in a vise and air hammer the bushing out of the control arm. Use the nut and a washer on the shaft to install the new bushin

The only difference between a 1999 and a 2000 upper control arm is the style of boot used on the ball joint.

Air Hammer (or Hammer and chisel) and knock out one of the side bushings (with sleeve). They come out opposite sides

far easier to replace the whole upper control arm vs the headache of replacing the bushings. but if you want to take em out, 16/32nd bit, and a drill,

What's the price of a new versus the price of you having to fight it for an eternity?

The answer is always a bigger hammer. If you say you’ve tried it, you need a bigger hammer. 😁
