replacing 83 sel guide rod mounts

The guide rod mounts/caster ball joints on my 83 380 sel are shot. By some of the links I've read I though it was a straight forward job of removing them. Some of the links I've read recently have me wondering. Guys are talking about a special tool and one link said an arbor press! I think the writer got confused with control arm bushings. Fact is I have a donor car a guy will sell me parts from for dirt and I'd like to remove the bushing and rod as one piece because they are newer. Is this even possible? If there is a link that shows this procedure please lead me to it as all I'm finding is verbage on entire front end jobs that barely touch on the guide rod mounts. Thanks in advance for your help, Andy
