hydraulic press?

That should be enough but I have had the random bushing that made even my 15 ton press struggle a bit. It's the front bushing on the rear trailing arm and the small front bushing on the front control arm that are the most trouble. Speaking with regard to 240 bushings. Some extra soaking time with penetrant and heat they came out though.

Edit: With regards to the subject the rear bearings usually come right off with my press. But some it had to work pretty hard and I had to add heat to the spacer to make it all come apart.

Any respectable auto machine shop will have a press capable of pressing the rear bearings.

No shops in the City under "automotive machine shop" that I can find. All of the industrial areas have been cleaned out. Maybe a repair shop but they don't advertise their equipment. I may have to just start calling around.

Anyone that will do an engine rebuild or suspension work that involves replacing bushings should have access to a press. Looks like plenty of options including explicit "machine shops" - but you probably don't even need to go that far. I'd just start with your favorite local mechanic - if they can't do it, they'll know someone who can.

It's not quite required shop equipment but a hydraulic press should be very easy to find.
