you can certainly press out/in a new bush onto the wishbone
but you will need a press

Just replace the whole arm as more than likly the ball joing will be worn too, try and get the best you can afford as it wont last you 6 months if its cheap.
Passenger side is a little harder as the drive shaft pops out loosing oil but its the same meathod both side, i did 2 on my at the weekend it took around 2 hours so quite easy to be honest
