David, if you are dropping the torsion tube, I'd highly recommend you go ahead and change to solid mounts and Delrin spring plate bushings. I don't know what your budget situation is, but pulling hte tube is NOT something you want to do twice, and 25 year old rubber is not something you want on the track much. If you can afford to, go ahead and put in the spherical bearings on the banana arms, too. Bt that can be done later if the budget doesn't allow.

If you disconnect the axles, you'll be able to get the banana arm dropped fully out of the way. If you don't, you'll make the job ten times harder. It is actualy easier to leave it connected to the torsion tube than to leave an axle attached. Of course, if you end up pulling the tube all of the way out of the car, you'll have to disconnect it, which sn't a big deal except for having to deal with the calipers (to avoid breaking into your hydraulics).

Trust me on this, I just went through tihs on the 968, and I tried to do it like you are doing it. Got much easie when the axle was undone,a nd te banana arm dropped out of the way.

I took the torsion tube and the rest out to do it. To me opening the hydraulic lines and disconnecting axles is minor compared to trying to do this in the car.

You remove as much material as you can so you can pass the PCA "they are still t-bars and still in there" test. They don't have to do anything but be there.

If you don't race PCA, pull them.
