Next, remove the shock absorber. To remove the lower, inboard mounting bolt from the control arm, compress the shock and tip the upper part outboard as far as possible in the wheel well. This is the only way to get a socket on that inner bolt.

You might as well remove the spring support so that you can access the bolt that secures the front part of the guide rod to the lower control arm. And, remove the brake calipers and steering arm from the hub assembly too. Hang the calipers from the sway bar with a coat hanger.
