Default front control arm bushings

I'm need to replace the lower control arm bushings on my 89 740 gle. I think they are the lower control arm bushing. My question is do they have to be pressed on.

a 750 has 3 lower bushings. usually the only ones that need replacing are the double-cone ones where the radius arm meets the main control arm.

thats the blue one behind the big washer here

(sway bars not yet installed when picture was taken)

parts diagram:


its bushings #11 in that pic. the harder to replace ones are #8 and #10

this bushing is easily replaced, the others are harder and do require a bigass press to get them out of the arms, and probably your entire vocabulary of bad language.

for others reading this, this configuration is specific to 7/9's... the 240's have a one piece control arm so there is no bushings at #11
