I've just never done any work like this and don't know what to expect and without pictures I'm still left wondering.
I'm at the point where I'm just going to go and give it a shot but I wanted to just try to see if anyone had any more valuable information to contribute

There is no requirement to "angle the car's rear end". You block it up in the traditional manner on the body.
The disc is removed via the use of a large rubber mallet to break it free from the hub. If they get very difficult, a bit of heat is preferred.
It's a lengthy and time consuming job and is really not suited for a beginner. We can talk you through it, but, be prepared for quite a few obstacles along the way. Patience will be a virtue.
Hopefully, the condition of the bearings and hub in the new trailing arm is satisfactory. You certainly don't want to replace bearings in that unit.
