I did the same as you did in destroying one of those $25 bushings at first try.

The problem is that Volvo uses these complete composite bushings that have a huge interference fit. If you measure the hole in the control arm, you will find that the bushing is about 0.080"+ larger than the hole.

You must have the special tool and the press. I machined the special tool and then it was a piece of cake.

The bushing also has to be clocked in a certain position relative to the control arm. This is another part that is tough without the tool.
