Manually downloading and installing Windows7 Extended Security Updates

Does anybody know how to download and manually install Windows 7 Extended Security Updates?

All the information I can find relating to Win7 ESUs is associated with the Windows update automated process; that is applying a MAK to the appropriate machines which enables those machines for ESUs and then relying on Windows Update to look for updates
and install. Unfortunately we have a bunch of machines that cannot be connected to the internet but still require the ESUs.

Any thoughts, links or suggestions greatly received.
