Yes, that inline flaring tool is the way to go. The only downside with that one is it's just a single size - fine if all you need to flare is 3/16 but if you need to do anything else you'll want to pick up a more complete set. That and some copper brake line made redoing the axle brake lines on my truck a goddamn breeze. It really is easy to work with, you won't need any sort of bending tools unless you're trying to do too sharp of a bend.

I *think* it's okay for fuel too but for that I'm sold on pushlok hose / AN fittings. I redid most of my C10's fuel system with that and it's the first time I've ever put together a new fuel system and had absolutely zero drips of any kind on the first try. Yes, you could use a combination of hardline and AN hose but IMO it's less work to just P-clip the hose the whole way instead of converting from hose to hardline and back again.

If you want to make future services easier, use a Lubelocker instead of RTV

I have them exclusively on stamped steel covers right now. No problems whatsoever. They are semi reusable too. LubeLocker doesn't guarantee it but so far I haven't had one leak yet after multiple reuses.

That is some absolutely pro-tier wrenching music, too.

Why not replace the whole trailing arm?

Yeah, just replace the whole arm. It's quite possible that the original arm wasn't meant to have a serviceable bushing, and that bushing looks like it would be a giant pain to deal with anyway. Then consider that most auto parts get installed by shops, and if you're paying for labor there's no way a $40-70 arm comes out more expensive than just the labor alone to get that bushing out.
