so you're just speculating or do you actually have experience?

A press does wonders, if you use it right. After I knocked my sleeves out, I brought it to a local shop to press my new ones in. Because my press was too small and I didn't have the "proper" (read: makeshift) tool to press them in myself. Plus I was burnt out on the whole thing by then... Laziness prevailed.

I've done this a couple of times
presses aren't the best way to do this, too awkward and a PITA
there's a specific tool made for bushings (look in the FSM) that makes the job cake, THAT is the best way to do it.
I did mine (SPL solids) a few years ago by myself over a weekend
left the bushings in the freezer overnight and used a caliper pad expander with a long threaded rod and washers to pull the bushings with an impact gun.
