so is it worth the effort to repair LCA's or should one just purchase them?

I am not saying it is not worth the effort and you should just buy a new ones.
Others on this Forum have not had so much trouble getting the bushings out. I think that in my case they are extremely rusted and there has to be metal missing from the bore that that turned into the rust that I removed.

You should pull the arms off; pull the bushings out and decide from there if you need new ones.
