2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse

my friend, richie, says he needs to know what size press he needs for changing out his motor mounts....??? you only need a ratchet right? his haynes manual tells him he needs a press for it.... what should i tell him. all the mechanics i know say they've never heard of needing a press of any kind to change one out before, but one person mentioned something about a bushing or something...?
