A press is pretty much required for radius arm bushings... OEM or poly. There are some 2-piece poly bushings that don't need a press, but you have to watch out for the chassis end, as a lot of the brands require a press on that one. (not a fan of 2-piece poly).
I fitted Terrafirma poly bushings a couple weeks ago, to replace the britpart 2 piece poly's. So far so good. OEM bushings won't fit the castor corrected TF arms anyway, so it's gonna be poly, or poly (for me).
If you don't have a press, you can probably pay a local mechanic like 80 bucks to install them. Or, get a 20 ton harbor freight press for around $140 like I did. It sits next to the fridge in my kitchen
