Well, the axle I did without removing the perches had never been removed. This on an axle painted "machinery green." But with the bushings removed, the perches seemed "good enough."
As in "don't fix it if it ain't broken."
Back then people looked on paint as a "sacrificial coating" - and applied on an "as needed basis." I blasted the whole axle without removing the wishbone, painted it black Rustoleum gloss and its the axle under my car now. The wishbone ball was, um, ok.
