<VV> Front rebuild: Pull crossmember or not?

[Duane, Jim]

Hi David!

	Can be done, but as others have mentioned, it is more difficult.
I JUST finished mine (Lower control arms and bushings) a week ago.  I
noticed you're in Acton.  There are three Corvair fanatics just down 495
from you in Billerica (me included).  I also happen to still have a
borrowed press and bought Clark's lower control arm spacer tool which
prevents the arm sides from collapsing when you push in the bushing.
You're welcome to them (until I have to give the press back, anyway!)

I'm planning on putting new ball joints (upper and
lower) and new bushings (upper and lower) on my late model. 

Looking at the project it seemed to me that I may be better off pulling
out the whole crossmember, doing the work and then reinstalling it.

I'd like some input on the best approach. Is pulling the crossmember a
good idea?

Thanks
