    No, you use a Fox bush press.
    Don't forget bushes have an interference fit. If you press in too many sets you will loose that interference.
    What does that mean?

    Interference fit means the bush is slightly bigger than the hole its pressed in to by hundredths of a millimetre. Each time you press in a bush you displace a tiny amount of material from the bush and the shock eye, more from the bush because its a softer metal but do it enough times and it will end up like a d!ck in a bucket.

    Don't you just posh the new ones in with a vice? That's what the Fox website says

    You don't need a special tool. If you are mechanically minded you can do it with just pretty basic tools.

    As mentioned previously, make sure you don't need reducers to fit the DU bushes, they can be expensive.

    Don't they come with the bushes? Or don't I have them on the shock already?
