Need some advice on replacing the rear subframe bushings on my W126.

Ok the way I understand this job is first: I have to remove the bracket, then the big center bolt. After that I can lower the rear subframe down enough to get the old bushing out and replace it with a new one. My questions are should I leave the car on its 4 wheels and put a jack under the read subframe? That way I could slowly let the jack down until their is just enough room to get the old bushings out. Or should I put the back of the car on jack stands? Also what should I use to get the new bushings in? I assume some lube should be used to get it in their, dish soap maybe?
