I have a drive-on type lift so it's never been a problem, if you don't have a lift or know someone who does Rhino ramps at all four corners should do. I start by removing the front bolt of the LCA ( only do one side at a time ), then the rear. I lube the bolts ( with whatever yours recommend ) but not the threads at the end. Once you have the bolts in place use a little red Loctite on the threads, tighten the nut/bolts to the proper toruqe. Now your ready to install the other side, good luck.

i've installed them, removed them when i totalled the car, then iinstalled them on the new car, then removed/reinstalled them when i had my SFC installed...
the biggest problem is that there isn't much room on the one side to put a socket. it is easiest if you have two end wrenches. and it helps to have a freind to push on the axle, since mine seemed to shift about 1/4", just enough to prevent the bolt from going in easily. but a little pushing and cussing helps.
