Powell spherical CABs install

Has anyone installed these using a hammer or vice and a large socket? Would you recommend taking it to a shop with a hydraulic press? Not sure how much force is required to press these things in.

Need press for the big rear bushing. You can use a giant C clamp for the leading bushing, but that's a different discussion

I used a press. I wouldn't attempt it with hammer, etc.
