Can you remove the rear trailering arm bushings in the truck by dropping the fronts or do you have to remove the arm and press them out? I want to replace them with polyurathane from Energy ....69 GMC long box

You could press them out. However, if the bushings you are installing have no outer shells, there's an easier way. Burn 'em out.

In any case, I'd remove the arm.
