Sawzall to cut the remnants of the outer part of the bushing (or hack 
saw, demel, etc) but be careful not to cut through the arm.
I have found it very simple to freeze the new bushings overnight, heat 
the trailing arm with a torch (not cherry red) and tap the cold bushings 
into the warm arms. (cold welding I believe it's called to some degree)
1 part shrinks, the other expands.
