Upper Control Arm Bushing

I NEED to replace on of the bushings on the passenger side upper control arm ('86 900T). With the car on the jack and wheel off, I can actually move the hub with my hands and see the movement at the bushing.
Last month I read through the repair instructions in the Bently Manual, and thought to myself "Ok I can do this." I read through the process again last night and it mentions two special Saab tools for pressing out/in the bushings as well as supporting the engine with a hoist. I didn't recall reading that the first time!
The question I have is this really a feasible project for a novice DIY or would I be better served paying my competent local friendly Saab mechanic the $80 and walking over to Starbucks to sip on a $6 double turbo expresso lotta latta for a couple hours?
