remember the 32mm socket to remove the wheel nut. If you can borrow a cordless impact driver... you can remove the six 19 mm bolts that hold the lower A Arm on and swing it out to remove the half shaft and won't have to block the upper A arm. Those nuts usually have a ton of undercoating on them so they should be ok to take out that way. there are three on the front and towards the rear, if you do them half way and then go back to finish it will push the unit down and all will be well. This takes the lower A arm off, a 17mm wrench and a 17mm impact socket and that same borrowed impact driver and you can remove the ball joints top and bottom and keep the knuckle, ball joints, or even the caliper if you want it. get a $20 set of 1/2 inch drive impacts at Autozone, they really work well. bring a claw hammer, remove the nut on the tie rod end to the steering arm FIRST and then smack the side of the steering arm until the tie rod end pops up. It's magic and it does work. Hit it harder if it doesn't come out, it will.
I wrote this backwards so start with wheel nut, then the tie rod end, then do the lower A arm, then the ball joints/knuckle.
