It costs a lot because it is time consuming. Easy does not mean quick. I wouldn't put this in the easy category, but it's definitely not hard. If you have no experience working on your car, I wouldn't bite it off as a first project.
Do you by any chance have a picture of the subframe bushing tool you used?

Thanks.
I used the tool that HP Autowerks rents out. You should be able to find it rather easily on here and their website.
