What size press is required to do this?

I snapped off a bolt that holds the control arm to the traling arm. I cut the nut off the other side of the trailing arm, removed that. (old drum ones replacing with disc) Then i took off the control arm to try and remove the broken bolt stud. Its siezed in the bushing hardcore.

I need to press out the old bushing and press in a new one and get a new bolt, should i let honda do it, or what size press is required?

Thanks

there was a sweet *** thread about pressing bushings, if you search recent in this forum you'll probably find it.

I have heard people using as small as a 6 ton press for bushings. Personally I spent a little extra for the 20 ton and I'm glad I did. So far there's nothing it can't move.
