Definitely!

The upper wishbones are being a pain and may have to be removed after the crossmember comes out to get better access.
The bolts which go through the bushes in the wishbones are probably seized with rust. They were on my 411. It's very hard to tell until you go to remove them!

Thankfully on the 411 the fulcrum bracket arrangment and the way the wishbones are fixed to the crossmember is a little different, which makes it easier to get them out.

Good luck and please keep the photos coming!
