From my limited experience [changed one set one time] the rear-most trailing arm bushing, the one held onto the axle with two "ears" doesn't lend itself to a press. You need to make or rent the special tool and remove the rear TAB while under the car. Are you referring to the front TAB, the small ones? Unless you have other uses for a hydraulic press, you can take the trailing arm to a machine shop and have it pressed out in 10 minutes for about $15.00. Took him longer to find the correct size drift to push with than to actually press it out. However, you can also use a press for the small front A arm bushing so all 4 cost me $60 at the shop v. the cost of a press and a place to store it. I don't plan on doing it again soon, you might, so that changes the balance sheet. Just a thought.
