No - here's how I got the hub out of the trailing arm:-

I used a DIY wooden puller tool

You will however need the slotted socket for doing up and setting the bearing play. I bought the MB one - it cost about 110 euros - the other ones available are sort of a bit cheaper but you have to grind them down to get them to fit apparently.
You will probably find it cheaper to buy a good replacement trailing arm and fit that... they go for about 70 euros here - so may be $50 where you are?
