the one your holding in your hand is for the opposite side look at the receses on the top of the one on the car they should be at the top
to get the old ones out best bet would be to burn them out they can be a pig or cut them out

Can also get them out by using a bearing puller as a pusher, a vice and a suitably sized socket.

Lollipop in vice. Get the 3 legs of the puller to grip the lollipop, place a socket and a large washer (if available) on top of the bush and tighten up the puller with a ratchet. With some effort, the bush will work its way out.
