I never remove the full arm when replacing the bush. Biggest issue is the quality of the new bush and how easily they go on, I’ve seen some completely the wrong shape. Once the bush is in place the surround won’t sit flush so be careful not to cross thread the bolts. A large pair of water pump pliers / swan neck pliers can be used to bring the two surfaces together to help with the bolt relocation.
