Default are urethane bushings as hard to press in as OE a-arm bushings?

I've got them on my 10v B3 as they came with the car. The rearward front ones are getting some play in them. I was thinking about just buying one for each side and see if it fixes it. I've changed them out on my B4 twice so I know the deal with tightening them with the weight of the car on the wheels. I guess the real question is; will I need to borrow that bearing press from Auto-Zone to deal with the urethane bushings?<ul><li><a href="http://www.tap1.com/Modifications_by_Model/90_quattro__10_Valve_/90_quattro__10_valve_.html">http://www.tap1.com/Modifications_by_Model/90_quattro__10_Valve_/90_quattro__10_valve_.html</a</li></ul>

Default You will still need to use the press.

Put if you chill the bushings, using the press takes very little force to get them in.
