Default R&R rear end housing bushings

Hey guys I picked up a set of Moog rear end housing bushings because mine are crap (these are the bushings that go into your rear end, the upper control arms mount to them). Has anyone done these without the tool. What's the easiest way to do them? I sprayed them down with some PB blaster and I'm putting the new bushings in the freezer.

Uh-oh hit a snag. I thought I got the right kit but I'm having doubts now. One of the bushings is about 1/4-1/2 an inch larger that the other. Are the two bushings in the rear end different sizes or did I order the wrong thing?

That's what I figured. I bought these from work so I'll just return them and order the ones from Summit or see if we can figure out which ones I need. I like using Moog stuff.

I was looking at those on the MM website. I can get the Moog stuff way cheaper than those. I get them at cost and don't have to pay for shipping.

True, I got the Ford part number off of the MM website. I'll see tomorrow if I can cross some numbers and see if I can get the correct kit. If not I'll have our parts runner stop by the dealer and price some out for me.
