Default Front bushing replacement

Hello all, I just ordered a front bushing kit from IPD for my 740 sedan and am curious if the any of the bushings will require a special press like the rear torque rod bushings. The question is, can I just go to any machine shop to get these pressed in? Here's the link to what I ordered: Front Bushing Kit - Rubber

getting the 20+ year old original bushings out will require your entire vocabulary of bad language, AND a 20 ton press with all the right size adapters.

Well, the bushings finally came in after a week with 3 day shipping (weather played a part in the delay). Does anyone have a diagram of the front suspension to where the bushings go?
