Mazda bushings or DTSS eliminators?
If they are eliminators, you don't need a press. Just drill/cut out the old DTSS bushing, then the new ones slide in under finger pressure (or use a clamp/vise).

It's a rubber bushing with a bunch of stuff embedded inside (a half moon section of steel, several bands of different thickness/stiffness rubber, a few metal bits, and of course the tube for the bolt). But you can just drill several holes around the center tube to free up the rubber, then cut it with a jig saw/Sawzall. That gets the center out, then you can run slits down the metal sleeve and pry the pieces out.
Yeah, it's a lot easier with a press but if you don't have one handy and just want to get it done, they can be cut out.
