122 Front End Rebuild Help? 120-130

I'm about to embark on a major project and would love any tips/suggestions/warnings you may have.

My front end suspension bushings are all shot. I figured as long as I am going to replace them, I may as well take switch out the ball joints and tie rods while I'm at it. I plan to get all my parts through IPD.

I'm a pretty mechanically adept guy, but no pro, and the front end is about the last area of the car I've never had to work on before. I can't afford a pro, so I'm stuck doing this myself. Here's my questions:

1. Anyone know of a good "how to" guide for working on Volvo front ends? Commercial or internet?

2. I plan on taking my A-arms to a shop to have the bushings pressed in with a hydraulic press. Can anyone recommend a good place in the Portland, OR area?

3. Any special tools required?

4. Any tips or suggestions from someone who has done this?

Thanks,
