How hard is it to change the front upper wishbone bushes???

My RX-8 knocks alot when driving at the front on the passgener side. I know its bushes and ive ordered some front wishbone bushes but im not sure how hard this job would be?? I do everything myself and would really like to conquer this challenge so i can add it to my list of stuff done but i cant seem to find anything useful on the net. So if anyone has done this before and could shed some light it would be much appreciated!

If not...#sigh.. it will be time to source out a good garage

Thanks )

You will require a press for removing and installing the bushes.

It also pulls to the left constantly and i have to drive slightly turned to the right to go straight. In the past week the noise has got noticeably worst its now rattling at idle and when pulling of and slowing down theres a horrible kinda scraping noise. Its only coming from the front passenger side footwell (above where the the wheel is).. What bushes can be causing this, is this a wishbone problem or is there somewhere else i should be checking too?
