>Can the trailing arm bushings be removed by lowering the front of the arms
out of the brackets leaving everything else attached to them and pressing
them out on the car or does the whole trailing arm have to be removed from
the car as described in the Bentley manual.

I suppose you could if you have a really big C-clamp.  The only problem is
that it will take a significant amount of pressure to push the old out and
the new in.  I usually use a vice.  Either way the two socket wrench
technique is recommended*.

*One large socket big enough for the bushing to be pushed into and one
small enough to fit the bore of the trailing arm.
