Default Rear Trailing Arm Question

I had a bit too much "fun" this weekend and bent a rear trailing arm. The trailing arm/spindle assembly was recently rebuilt, so I would like to remove the spindle assembly and put it in a new trailing arm. It look's like I need to drill out the brake rotor rivets and remove the rotor to get at the four bolts that hold the spindle assembly on.
Anyone have tips for removing or installing the spindle assembly in the new trailing arm?
Thanks,
Jim

If you just need to replace the trailing arm, and the spindle and spindle carrier are okay, just unbolt the entire spindle carrier assembly form the trailing arm. It's just a matter of 4 nuts/studs, and then the brake stuff.
