Title says it all.

I was in the process of replacing the bushings on my Clubman when I got to the front sway bar. The bushings wouldn't budge so I just assumed that they were gunked on there. Got a solid grip and pryed one off. It ripped in half. That's when I realized that Mini glues the damn sway bar bushings on, like wth?. There's no way I can get the rest off without removing the sway bar completely.

Does anyone have any good methods on removing the front sway bar? I'm going to guess that I will have the drop the sub frame and lower control arm to get it out.

Also, is there a different front sway bar for the non AWD and the AWD version of the Clubman?

Thanks in advanced.
