Can't speak for how your sway bar bushings are constructed, but on the 108 the bushing has a slit across the top. The top being the side of the bushing in contact with the frame. Once the strap is removed the bushing will pull off the bar. On the 108's, if you remove the sway bar you have to realign the front end as there are two short leaf springs which connect the front sub frame at the same point the sway bar attaches.
