you have to remove the entire arm from the car, meaning, undo the brakes, undo the control arms
When the whole arm is off, replace the bushing (you will need a hammer or a press, either is fine

You don't have to completely remove the trailing arm from the car. The bushing will hammer out.

ok, they just cause binding, improper movement of the arm, and the pin can slide out under load. Yeah, great design

If you can find a Honda dealer that will let you into the shop, you'll see it.
