Pretty straight forward to change bushings. Few weld beads around the inside of the old bushings can shrink them some so they come out easier. keep the new bushings in a freezer or packed in dry ice until you actually go to install each one, helps them go in easier. Hollow ram port-a-power head, puller rod, and a plate to go under the bushing can pull them in without a bunch of pounding. Normal bushing replacement things.
