Mel,
You need a separate bush removal tool to remove both the subframe and trailing arm bushes.
I removed my rear subframe off the car when I did this job and removed the subframe bushes by the "ghetto method" (i.e burnt them out). For the TABs I made my own extractor tool from a short piece of pipe and a long bolt and nut. I found that the nuts on the trailing arms were an absolute swine to undo: they are highly torqued and are self locking, PLUS the access to the outboard ones is difficult./// Exdos ///
