HI! First off.. the UPPER torsion (sway) bearings and bushings almost NEVER wear out due to light loading. Seals are a simple O-ring which I can supply. bearings and bushings I probably have used but would need to know the depth specs of the old ones as the early cars had longer ones. Lastly.. the bearings come out with relative ease with a bearing puller but unless you have the special VW tool for pulling the bushings you are going to have a real $%#@ of a time getting them out!! (anyone have this tool??) and if the bushings are shot so will the arms be and they must go. Be sure that the new bearings and bushins go in the same EXACT depth if using a used arm with a wear pattern on it. Keith PS make sure your beam isn't rusted through under the clamps before putting any money or effort into it.
