Default Removal of trailing arms

I can't find anywhere on the Internet how to remove the rear trailing arms?

Do I have to support the knuckle with a jack and some wood to get them out or while their out?

Thanks,

Also I looked at the FSM for my '96 and it has about three sentences on this subject, which is of no help

Support the knuckle at ride height. Remove bolt bolts from knuckle end, then from bracket end.
Torque when re-installing: at knuckle = 140#, at bracket 63#.

TIP: when undoing the nuts at the bracket end, put some duct tape over the holes in the frame so that the nuts do not fall inside of it.

Yeah I learned the hard way.... i lost a bolt in that cavity but fished it out with copper wire and a magnet.

Done putting the banski kit on all three kits that is, I wish they made more things for c4s.
