John,
A slide hammer should get the hub out of the trailing arm. I used a large disposable socket and a 5lb mini sledge to drive the hub out from the inside of the trailing arm.
Once the hub is out of the trailing arm you'll need to remove the race which should still be attached to the hub. Cut a notch in the race and split it with a chisel. Getting the remaining of the bearing out of the trailing arm will require some sort of press as you will not want to damage the soft Al. trailing arm. Installation of the bearing will also require the correct press.
I got half way into this project and decided to take the traling arms into a shop to finish it up for me.
I took them to Pitstop (with Bill) and they had the new bearings installed in to time. Cant see more than an hour labor + parts to do this, espically if you bring in the trailing arms with the hubs removed.
