I just found out that I have to replace part of the bushings on the front and rear suspension on the above. I think just the lower rear wishbone next to the wheel and lower trunnion. Do I have to remove the entire hub to do this and should I replace everything at this time
 
Replace everything on the front at one time. Parts are cheap.

I don't think you have to remove the spindle, but I might be wrong. It has been almost 20 years since I did this.

The back bushings are fairly easy. It is the back bearings that are a ROYAL BEAR! Tapered fit that does NOT want to come apart.

See if you can find the repair manual from Robert Bentley. Best one there is. It is basically a reprint of the factory manual. Only issue I had with it was the mention of all the special tools, which for me usually wound up being a 2 pound hammer.
 
I'd echo that - the rear bearings are a real chore. Make sure you have a suitable puller, or you'll bend the rear hub. (voice of experience here

) The rest is straight forward. Do everything at once - the parts are cheap, so why do the labour more than once?
