There are many ways to remove the old bushings. You can push it out directly if you have a press. Or you can use jig saw, reciprocating saw, and even a simple hacksaw to cut it out. Then, please cut out the rubber center to make room to work inside the ring. Once the rubber center is out, you can use the saw to cut the bushing ring. Please do not worry. The ring is soft aluminum, and it will be easy to cut. Just be sure not to cut too far or cut into the suspension bushing itself. You just need to cut ring in one way because it will be break easily. Using a press, break the ring and bend it inward to loosen the tension. Then the ring will slide out easily. It is not necessary to set the on fire to melt away the rubber. You can just remove these with a hammer.
Place the Lower arm bushing on a bench vice or over a large socket so that there is room underneath it to push the bushing out. After hitting it hard with a hammer, the bushing should have sunken into the Lower arm bushing about a 1/2 inch or so. Don't be shy, give it a good whack. Now, clamp the Lower arm bushing in the vice and use a socket to drive the bushing through the rest of the way. Now you should be able to just grab the bushing and yank it out by hand. If there is still a problem on pushing the bushing out, you can trim away the rubber lip on one side to help it go through if you think it should be. Now you just have completed the job of removing your old bushings.
