I've read that you have to heat the subframe up to extract the old bushings. Do you know if a standard heat gun would work or if it's even necessary?

If you're using the correct tool, no heat is necessary.
If you are not, you need a torch. You have to melt the rubber on the outside of the aluminum sleeve. (Note: This means heat the subframe.)
