I pressed the old ones out on mine, and pressed the new ones in. It took less than 3 minutes per bushing to press out, and press new one in. I did turn a piece of aluminum on the lathe to press the bushings in and out with. That way the pressure would only be on the outside metal part, and not stress the bushing when pressing them in.

I will check with the body shop since they are the ones who dropped it off at Audi. My main goal is to get my car back ASAP without too much fuss. Dealing with the aftermath of water pipe damage to a couple of houses as well. Fun fun.
