How to press bushing into control arms?

So I took my 2008 E350 4Matic in for alignment and they said lower control arm bushings are broken.

It looks like the arms are $500/each, but there is a bushing kit for $80/each.
I am assuming they will need to be pressed into the arms.

What type of tool will I need to press them in and will it be difficult to do? (Or is it a better choice to simply pay a local euro shop to press them in for me?)
Looking to avoid the $980 they quoted to replace the LCA bushings.

Thanks,
