Yep, the forward RSB mounts can press out/in from bellow the subframe. The real PITA are the rear ones, which you need to drop the rear axle/subframe to get enough room for the press/tool to get up in there and work!

My dealer had to break open the rear brake lines and lower the axle onto a cart positioned under the car to work on those two rear subframe bushings. Them they had enough room to use that on the car press tool. Then they bled the ABS block and brakes with the BMW ISTA tool. Looking back, I think I should have also replaced my brake lines at that time. Ohh well. Hind sight is 20/20.
