Yes, when removing the lower suspension arms I notice a fair bit of
play between those two, you can wiggle the link indpendantly of the
trunnion.

RF was no problem, gentle taps were all that was required, LF is a
different story. I couldn't tap them off but I managed to get the
front one off by putting vice grips around the lock/thrust washer and
wiggling them loose. The rear just won't budge, however now that the
front's off the rear arm can slide off the inner bracket.
I'll have to spin the trunnion off the link and try the washers on the bench.
