You'll have to have a hydraulic press to swap out the lower strut mount bushings.
Sometimes, different brand shocks use different style bushings though. An example is:KYB has the metal sleeve inside rubber bushing inside lower strut mountandOEM has the metal sleeve inside rubber bushing inside another metal sleeve inside lower strut mount.
so if you tried to press out the OEM bushing, it would come out with that extra outer sleeve where the KYB wouldn't have that. They might also have a difference in OD" but you'll have to measure it out.
If you have two of the same brands, you're all good.
