Either way, you'll need a hydraulic press.

Didn't I hear someone on a post say part of the SEs firmer suspension were stock polyu suspension bushings?

Anyways...heh...back when I had my integra, I asked my shop what they'd charge me to put a comprehensive set of ES poly suspension bushings in...the guy told me it was so much work, he wouldn't even let me do it, even if I wanted to spend the $450+ he estimated it would be for labor. Of course, the maxi is a completely different car & suspension, but I'm sure there's some difficult ones to get at/get out.

This is correct. SE has Poly. bushings. The only thing you can upgrade is the front swaybar bushings. Courtesy Nissan has the kits for the swaybar. I think the end links are the only ones that need replacement every few years. They just seem to get all squashed as time goes by.
