On the front ones I don't see, given how tight the interference fit is (if you are replacing with the billet aluminum ones) on the bushings, how it would ever work (the thin flange thing bends). You really need a press and a 3.00" inside diameter pipe to get the front ones on properly.
Did you support the subframe gap when you tried to press the bushing in? That might have been the issue why you couldn't use the tool without breaking it
