Do you have a dremel or something with a cutting wheel (or maybe a carefully-wielded sawzall) where you can make a cut top to bottom through the metal bushing liner?
Do you not have a press of some sort? You need one of those HF ball joint presses or something. That's what I used on mine.

Cut each edge to release tension until you're just barely touching the aluminum arm. Do this in a few places. Flip, and hit with you're biggest sledge and a wrecking bar.

That suucks
Mine gave up releasing the pressure on the bottom then on the top side. I used a wire wheel to clean the inside of the diff housing bushings, looks like you might need a bit more than I did!
I've got cheap protane bushings, I hope a propane torch is enough to melt the lower mount rubber off...

It has zero tabs. There's a ~$100 shipped kit (ISC?) that turns it into an NB subframe, with front and rear tabs. Also has a backing plate with a giant nut welded to it so you could attach the entire NB ladder brace from the rear. The shiny black piece in this pic:
I have one for sale if you want it
Doesn't attach to the PPF, but it does connect the dangling subframe to the chassis to really box it in.
