Default How to remove trailing arm?

Hello, I have a 98 Honda civic ex coupe and someone crashed me and bent my trailing arm, unfortunately they where not at the scene when I got there so I have to do it my self.
Which tools do I need to take out the trailing arm? It is the right rear.
Any tips?
I believe it's 3 14mm sockets

You need a 14mm and 17mm. You'll also need a 12mm for the brake line where it connects to the trailing arm and a wrench (not sure what size) to remove the line from the brake cylinder.
There are quite a few other tools you may need to do the job right/easier including a hammer, pliers, drift pins, jack, jack stands, the schley tool, an air impact, a hydraulic press, measuring devices, marking devices, penetrating oil, silicone grease, etc. etc.
You may be able to get away with less depending on your strength, skill and desired end result.
Oh, and a torque wrench and torque specs (40 and 47 ft. lbs. are the important ones if I recall correctly, and the upper link is less I believe, check the manual).
