W124 Rear Suspension Bushings

A week or so ago I was doing a tire rotation on the 260E and inadvertently 'confirmed' in my mind where the clunking noise from the rear end is most likely coming from when going over a bump. While I'm not sure which it is, camber or torque strut, the bushings were pretty much toast! So of course, the little back-yard-mechanic in my head starts thinking about making plans to replace these sometime in the not-to-distant future but I thought it good to throw this out here and get some feedback from those who have done this project. I'll need some sort of tool to press them out and back in, yes? If so, is it a Harbor Freight available tool? Can it be 'rented' from the local auto parts store? What is the most difficult part of the job? Bear in mind, this old guy will not have the luxury of a lift, just jack stands and a hydraulic jack. Any other pointers would be appreciated.
