Front upper control arm bushing

Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to change the bushings
(inner and outer) on the upper control arm( front -both sides).
Do I need to put the car on lift or a jack is enough. Also MB manual says jack up the car from the front center. Now where would I put the jack on the center. Will the front center of the Chasis will hold the weight of the engine and car when jacked up.

Most importantly How bad is actual job of taking apart the upper control arm.( I guess I will have to remove it completely to replace the bushings) I already have the bushings.

I just need some words of encouragement. And if its a real dificult job please tell me so. I am pretty handy with cars. I have a ball joint puller to separate the upper control arm.

Please any thoughts.
