Once you're underneath it, it's obvious enough what to do that a how-to is not really necessary. The only kinda tricky thing is getting the ball joint stud out of the knuckle.

Actually one more thing that's important is that to get to the rear bolt holding the control arm to the subframe, you have to take off a bracket that holds the subframe to the body of the car. Only take the bracket off one side at a time, in case the subframe could fall or shift without both of them on.
well ^ this part sounds a little scary lol
when you say one side at a time you mean drivers side and passenger side right? i was hoping to get this done all on a Sunday cus it's my daily driver.
