The control arm must be removed from the vehicle. Then the control arm bushings are pressed in and out with a ball joint press.
Another option is to take the control arm in and have the bushings pressed for you.

How do i fix it

Sway bar bushing, Ball joints and Strut Mounts make these noises. See if the ball joint have grease fittings then get them greased. Check if Control arm bushings have play and can they be pumped with grease. If Control arm bushings have play then change the complete Control arm which will be economical in the long run. Please check and get back to me with more information.

How do i replace the upper control arm bushing on my 2000 GMC 4wd jimmy blazer

Use a C clamp type bushing tool to press out the old bushing and install the new one.
Alternately, you can use a pneumatic chisel to dent the bushing from the back being very careful to not nick the control arm or the shaft. A little penetrating oil would help. Once the bushing loosens the pneumatic chisel can pop it out.
Mark the shaft with a piece of tape to get it back the same way. Once the first bushing is out, the shaft should slide out through the hole making it easy to remove the second bushing.
To install a new one make sure that the A frame won't bend when installing the bushing. Don't forget to put the shaft back before installing the second bushing. Don't tighten the nuts on the ends of the shaft until the A frame is installed and lower A Frame supported with a jack approximating the normal ride height. Fixing the bushing rotation at normal ride height will make them last longer.

Have an anoying squeek in the front end of my jimmy. I have sprayed wd40 and nothing seems to help.

Replace upper control arms and/or bushings and lower ball joints. Lube the sway bar bushings and end links real good with a sprayable grease. Not WD-40, that stuff rinses of with just water.

Front end clunk

If it's a constant clunking noise it might be the cv joints, a one time clunk would indicate play between the steering rack and and the wheel somewhere, probably on the lower control arm, meaning the bushes are either very worn, or not present anymore. It could be the bushes on the swing-arm aswell. Best bet: Jack the car up on the right side and grab the wheel, **** it around abit, and check for play.Hope that helps!
