If looks like you are trying to install a late caster block, on an early car.... Only way that will work is if you replace the whole control arm with the aluminum ones from an 85.5 or 86.
Anyways... a big punch and a hammer should make short work of the remaining bushing.

Indeed it is an 84 944> so I must replace the whole control arm?.... Someone has had to of figured out how not to do that....if not, Anyone have 85 or 86 control arms taking up precious space and need to get rid of them?
