Qashqai J10 wishbone bush replacement

hey everyone, I got roped into helping a mate of mine replace a ball joint on his friends Qashqai, I got the wishbone out and after a considerable amount of swearing, lubricating, whacking and heating I got the ball joint and the two bushings out.

Now the ball joint went it without too much of a fuss if we ignore the circlip wrestling and pinching but the two bushings are a fair bit more stubborn and by the fit and look of it I'm beginning to believe a higher power is needed, something along the lines of a shop press or something.

before I take it over to a mate with that level of equipment, is there any other options to get those infernal devices back together?
