What are these and how can I change them?

Hi All,
It's been a long time for me, but I'm still driving the trusty 1986 300e W124. It's been a good car and I plan to keep it for a bit longer... But it's making an annoying squeaking sound and I can only think it's coming from these dead bushings. Attached are 2 pictures. This is a cross member at the back of the car. The greasy gross thing there is the rear differential. It's mounted to this cross member with these 2 bushings that are clearly shot and need to be replaced. By gently lifting on the differential, I can hear a squeak and see this moving. I trust it shouldn't move (or if so, not by much and it should be much firmer than it is)

So my first question is: Are these the Wheel Carrier Bushings? If not, what are they?

My second question is: Is this something that I can carefully change myself? It looks as though I simply need to remove the allen bolt there, work out that dead bushing, somehow hammer or press in a new one and put the bolt back in. I'm sure it can't be that easy... is it?

Thanks All!
