Default sway bar bushings

I replaced pretty much every front end component (struts, ball joints upper and lower, sway bar links) save the sway bar bushings and tie rods on my 2000 2.4 stratus..

there's still an audible clunking on randomly uneven pavement and i figured it was probably the sway bar bushings.

Now is there an easy way to get the bracket holding the sway bar bushings to the frame apart? it's almost like the two pieces are curled around one another with the bushing between them..

I really don't want to take the new sway bar link off to slide the whole sway bar bushing bracket off. Is there an easier way?

Did you check the rubber bushings where the upper control arm mounts to the upper strut tower?

Also, could be the calipers that are clunking. Happens a lot on these models. Check the tabs on the pads.
