Rear trailing arm bushing R&R - guidance, hints?

I have a 9-5 Arc, 2004. I am considering replacing the three bushings on both rear trailing arms and doing the work myself.
I’ve read the article at fix my saab (http://fixmysaab.com/9-5_repair/suspension/rear/intro.asp?nsteps=6 )
I don’t have a press, and don’t plan on getting one.
My question is, what are other approached to R&R the bushings? I am aware of the various bushing press/removal tools that can be rented/borrowed from some auto stores. Are they applicable to this job and how well do they work? Is this something a reasonably handy DYIer could do?
I am confident that I could remove the arm but don’t want to get stuck not being able to get the bushings in/out.
Any help appreciated.
John
