William,
I am "in process" with this job on my 63 +4 as I work on the brakes and
fit new decamber plates to the lower king pin mount. The last time I
did this was about 20 years ago. Disassembly is quite easy on the +4,
but I think the springs on the 4/4 are longer (and have more tension in
them) and are a bit harder to remove. Look at John blair's
contributions on Morgan repairs on:

He has some great stuff there. I would venture that any good machine
shop can do the bushings. Mine are still fine, but then I don't drive
my car that much... (ps: I have keep the one shot oiler functioning.)
good luck and keep us posted...
