Default mondeo Mk3 help

Bushes in rear subframe have gone. A common problem i believe. I have been told to just get a complete new subframe with bushes as easier to do but how hard is it to just change the bushes only ? Anyone had this problem ? Are either jobs something i could do with limited mechanical experience ? cheeRS in advance again guys

the new bushes need to be glued into the subframe and require 24hours for drying i think. getting the old ones out can be a ball ache by all accounts aswell.
