Gen2 suspension noise question - are these the parts I need?

I'm getting a clunk/rattle from the right hand side of my 87 Camry. I took a look at it today, the bushing on the end of the stabilizer bar is very obviously worn, really there is nothing left of it. I've circled the lower suspension control arm, that is the bushing I need. Firstly, how does one go about removing it? The bolt on the end of the stabilizer bar is VERY tight, what makes it worse is the bar flexes. I put a breaker bar on it to see if it would come loose, forget it. I twisted the bar about 1/4 or a turn, no dice.

Anyway, in the second pic I posted, are these the parts I need? Here is the link to the site. Thanks.

BTW, I'd look in my Haynes manual, but I borrowed it and have not got it back yet.

Very neat thread!
the inner bushings on the control arms are wearing too, therefore it could be a better idea to buy entire arm assembly. (Ebay used to sell these at $60 U.S. each).
On my car I used 1/2 inch breaker bar with about 3 feet pipe cheater.
Impact wrench works the best (cordless impact driver worked for me)
The replacement of the arms will also required removal of arm brackets, lower crossmember
and front sway bar brackets.
Apply MP grease to the ball joint cones before inserting them into the arms
After completing replacement before final tightening of the arm-to bracket and arm to sway bar nuts, lift each arm to approximate normal ride hight by placing the scissor jack under the balljoint nut. Then tighten the nuts. This will minimize unnecessary twisting of the bushings.
