I would almost recommend just dropping the whole rear subframe. That's what I ended up doing and it made everything a lot easier (But I was also replacing the suspension links as well). It's just the 4 subframe bolts and the flexdisc. Once it's out you have room to get the old subframe and diff bushings out and the new ones in.

If you leave it in the car, you might try jamming a piece of wood in between the subframe and the body, and then using a jack to press the subframe bushing up and out the top. Good luck!
