I followed this thread because I am replacing the rears now and it went very well. I rented a balljoint press from oreilly auto parts (free there) and with a socket and piece of flat steel pressed the new ones in both the spring and perches. I removed the old sleeves with a saw, punches, chisels and a cheap muffler type air hammer, not fun. Take a look and you will see the similarity between the ball joint press and the correct factory tool. Like others I put a little anti seize in the bores. I also used a ball shaped stone to remove rust from the bores but was careful not to wallow out the holes. A little improvisation was required.
