Default Lateral arms and bushing

I have a set of rear lateral arms and have bought some super pro bushes.
Will I need to have these pressed in or can the bushes be fitted without the use of a press?




Cheers
Rich

Do the bushes come apart in the middle? As usually they just fit in at each side.

No these are the solid ones not the the ones in two half.

With the metal insert removed I had no issues pressing the bush in with a normal vice. Used soft jaws to avoid marking the fresh powdercoat though... Would have to use a press on standard items as they have a metal sleeve on the outside that the SuperPro ones don't have.
