Trail Arm Bushes split

Hi, I have been informed the trail Arm Bushes need replacing and the cost does not seem bad.  

However I have been advised that the whole rear suspension needs to come off to gain access to fit the trail arm bushes and that if a bolt has seized it is cut and a new bolt and arm is required.  Then if the next bolt is seized the same needs to happen and there is a domino affect on the repair cost.  

Does anyone have any experience of replacing the Trail Arm Bushes ? 

thanks.

    I changed them on my 2011 car a few years ago...didn't have any problems with any nuts or bolts.

    I guess the main potential issue is that in that "few years" the rear subframe will have spent it going rusty.
