Good Morning -

Finally getting around to replacing the bushings in the front end of my 
'80 mgb. Should I figure on replacing the seals, washers, etc on  the 
lower trunnions? Looks like Moss has a lower trunnion kit with all the 
parts. I haven't done this in a few years, can't remember if I need to 
disassemble that stuff to change the bushings... I think it's all gotta 
come apart, don't really see how else you could do it...

Looks like the later B's used more mounting pads on the crossmember - 
can anyone confirm exactly whats required?

I'm planning on using the V8 bushes - do they need to be pressed in? If 
so, will a large bench vise suffice?

What is the collective wisdom on  replacing the (25 year old) sway bar 
links while it's all apart? Last time I replaced the bushes in a sway 
bar, it was horrible! I had to grind them out with a dremel tool... took 
quite a lot of effort!

Hoping to order parts today to have them in time for the weekend! It's 
been a long time since I've had much opportunity to spend time in the 
garage!

Thanks for any advice

-Marc
