no i'm more worried about cutting the subframe by accident since it'll be kinda hard to get into the side on the inside of the arm. hmm... should i chop the arm right before the bushing to get more room and then chop the two sides of the bushing?

The punch is for when the end of the bolt is flush with the bushing. Apparently, you haven't gotton the bolt that far through.
