Default change rear bushes

Hi. I want to change the rear bushes to my small turbo. I bought the deflex´s kit and I have some doubts to change it now.
Is necessary put the bushes of the beam with the hydraulic press?
Is necesary get down everything like in this pic??

Or can I put them only let the beam go of the car(without take out the brake hoses, etc....)???
Is necesary put to the beam bushes anothers longer screws??

A lot of thanks.....

hello...that pic looks familiar

My bushes on the beam were pressed out very carefully as they are superb mounts the concentric ones, deflex are inferior to these mate as ive been told that ford put a lot of time and development into these. TYou cant change the trailing arm bushes easily if at all without dropping the beam due to accessability of the nuts and bolt heads when in situ.

The trailing arm ones were heated up to be removed as these are rose jointed ones as standard.

good luck mate

I've had both Powerflex & Deflex, apart from the finish it looks & feels like the same stuff except for price. Theirs been mixed opinions on here regarding Deflex.
