Trailing arm bush removal
Ive got my arms off, and drilled off the flared end of the bush. However there is still a metal washer in front of the rubber. Does this just pull off or do I need to drill it out too?

Once you get the flared sleeve out then you may find a air chisel under the hardened washer pops it out. Sometimes I have to use a cut wheel and cross cut the face and remove that washer. Then you get the rubber out and still have the steel bushing to remove.
