Default Upper Control Arm Bushing (axle side)

I need to replace soon, the bolt is practically sitting completely to one side, as opposed to being dead center. What steps do I need to take in oder to do so? Do I need to jack the jeep up, then droop the axle? Or, can I just remove the bolt and swing the UCA up and out of the way? Or, do I completely remove the UCA, in order to replace the axle bushing?

just remove the bolt and swing the UCA up and out of the way. droop the axle if it gives you more room to work. Take a drill and drill the rubber around the bushing. Punch bushing out, then punch sleeve out. Press new bushing in and your good to go.
