Hi. I did this job earlier this year and found that the rubber bush absorbs any impact from a hammer. I am sure it is possible to remove them this way but I found it much easier to lever them off using a two foot crowbar. With the two bolts removed I jammed the wishbone down with a piece of wood about one to one and a half inches thick. This made room for the bush to slide towards the back of the car. Unfortunately I cant say exactly what I used as a fulcrum for the crowbar but I had the car up on ramps with the wheels still on and levered from the centre of the car. Sorry I cat be more specific, it was a few months ago and a picture would probably be required, however, rest assured, it is possible. Hope this is of some help.
