out of commission, cant drive my dart anymore

It’s not brain surgery but it is hard work. Make sure the car is supported on some very study jack stands as you will be prying and hammering a lot.
Oreilly rents most of the tools. I usually heat the bushings to get rubber out on the old ones then sawzall and chisel the metal part till I can collapse it and pull it out. Put the new bushings in the freezer and heat the A arm some to put the new ones in. The heating and cooling helps them slide together easier. I don’t have a press so I used the ball joint press and some sockets.
It can turn into a money pit, as while you are doing it you will likely notice that the tie rod ends and the idler are are loose too....
There are no doubt a lot of better ways of doing this, but when you are a stubborn cheapskate, you learn how to improvise....
