I dedicate this thread to the codes himself.... Lol here ya go man hope it helps.

First obviousy loosen the lugs , put it on jacl stands, and take the wheels off.
First I un bolted the two bolts to take off the brake caliper. You'll need a pretty good sized allen wrench.

Oh yea forgot to tell ya, at the beginning, support the lower control arm with a floor jack. And after the brake caliper, take off the upper shock nut and bushing. Then pull down in the shock to pull it out of its litle hole lol and get it out of the way.

Then I took iff the other castle nut off the upper ball joint. And whacked it til it fell out and I let down the jack to ease pressure off the coil and take it out.
