Is it safe to press out old an in new ones into the arm? I really need this car on the road. If anyone can help me please reply. Thanks

You can buy the c type clamp and adapter pieces to go with it. You can press them in or out on control arms. Usually only once. After going through the second pair. The socket where they sit in can become stretched if done more than twice. Then you'll wanna replace the control arms. But yeah their meant to be replaced at least once.
