For those who have changed W123 subframe bushings is it easier to drop the whole subframe? I'm also planning on replacing differential mounts, CV axles and wheel bearings at the same time.
I'm sure it is much easier to remove the sub frame and tackle the old bushings off the car especially if they are rusted / stuck in there. I needed to get a crows foot on mine with a hammer!

(Wanna link?)

Also if you're doing the other stuff I'd definitely remove the sub frame and trailing arms in one. You might also want to add trailing arm bushings to your list.
