Default Wanted: Trailing arm bushing installation advice

Brought my car in to the shop to get a pre-inspection to figure out what I need to get done for the real inspection. One of the many things that needs to be done is to replace the rear trailing arm bushings on both sides of my 95 Civic. Most likely I'll be doing this myself because I'm currently in dept to my neck to get it done at the shop and plus I need the experience. From reading tutorials, it seems like getting the actual bushings in and out is a complete pain. Anyone do this that could share their experience and helpful tips? About how long would it take, and any special tools I'll be needing? I will definitely need any help/advice I can get. Also, if you know of any great tutorials/pictorials on doing this, please share. Thanks.

There is a special tool... "trailing arm bushing extractor"

people have done it, looks pretty easy with that tool...

the tool isn't cheap... see if you can get one second hand... or borrow it...

Ahh yeah I saw that. Looks like a neat tool, only if it were cheaper.
