The rear control arms came out pretty easy (getting them back in required a rubber mallet). The pain is I had to remove the ball joints (easy enough) to get the control arm off and back on. But once the control arm was in it was tricky to get the ball joints mounted. I'm sure there was an easier way but it gave me fits. You put the bolt in holding the ball joint in the mount, then it's in the way when you try and fit the 3 mounting bolts. It was a rubrik's cube for me.
The pass side has a sensor mounted to the arm that has to be removed. And you'll notice with the front control arm bushing on that side it has two bolts sticking down in front of the control bushing nut. They appear to hold the sensor in place. You have to back off the nut/bolt to get the front control arm bolt out. Rear control arm is held on with 2 T20 bolts. Ball joints needed 16mm and 13mm. I think the front control arm bushing was 21mm. All in all not so bad. Minus those fidgety ball joints.
