Are you saying that Lemforder manufactures the OE bushing for Mercedes?

I begin the process of removing the outer bushing. The bushing is pressed in and I got stuck trying to remove the bushing because my ball joint press remover is to big to fit in the tight space.

I will keep you guys posted on how I get the bushing press out. If you guys have any suggestion to make the job easier please let me know.
I need to replace both my outer and inner bushings on my rear lower control arm. I was able to locate the inner bushing in Peachparts' online catalog, but not the outer. Can someone please help direct me to the outer bushings.

Thanks.
