Albert, I have a shop press...

If you need it. I think it could probably be done in a vise also.

No. Those are more like a-arm bushings on a spider.

You want them like these:

128 rear bushings are shouldered, OE part number 4246744. Albert, the ebay link you pointed to doesn't have a picture, but the description is correct. Greg that's just the wrong bush.

Cheap rubber is too soft and doesn't last, try find OEM if your keen to change them.

Beware pushing them in and out of the arm, the metal is quite thin and the arms bend easily if not well supported.

Personally Ive never had access to a press. The first time I needed to do this was right of high school. I thought about it a while, then I grabbed some sockets, some lube and my floor jack. Set the item to be pressed out or in on the jack , under my car. Then using the right size socket above and below the part, I pressed my bushings in or out after I lubed things up. Worked like a charm.
