Yeah, wishbone bushes are easy enough - you just need something to press them in with. I used a vice to do mine

I did mine at the weekend using a vice, needs a fairly decent sized vice, but they will press in without the use of a hydraulic press.

Make sure you clean up the face inside before pressing it in

Mine were like this before:



Cleaned up to this:



In the vice, use a steel plate so you press the bush evenly:



Go slowly, but it'll go:



Finished:



Sadly my poor vice wasn't really big enough:

if your fitting bushes with the sleeve ready installled, use a bit of thick wood with a hole that the skeeve will fit theough, otherwise you might ruin the bush. i used this method and a club hammer
