Replacing the rubber mounting for the rear axle- DIY?

Thinking about changing the rubber mounting for the real axle due to noise whenever stopping and starting he car. Looking into changing all four at the same time.The local carshop said that it needed to be done.Is this a DIY? Parts no 2 in this picture.

PS Got a "new" M3 steering wheel change coming up. It is in the mail- cannot wait to get it fitted.
Also I would like to thank you guys/gals out there for all replies whenever needed. This is the best place for tips,hints and solutions to our problems and more.......

Yep, these have a habit of going, I've had all four of mine replaced.
The only way to do this DIY is to purchase the correct tool - its about $400.
I had a go at replacing mine without using the tool - its a real pain.
I couldn't press the new bush fully in - I ended up taking it to the dealer to get it finished.
