Support the bottom of the rear control arm after you've jacked it up. Loosen all the bolts/nuts first. Then start removing and replacing one arm at a time, it should be obvious the logical order to R&R. Be careful to pay attention to which way the arms are orientated before removal because it can get confusing, I took pictures.

Watch out for stripping bolts and nuts, the spaces are so tight you are screwed if you do. If I did it again I would spray everything with PB blaster the night before.

You will need a good 3/8" 6PT 19mm socket. You won't have the room to use anything 1/2" unfortunately. A good assortment of 17/19mm box wrenches. Definitely will need a good set of triple square bits. Be sure to tighten all the bolts with the car suspension loaded, I used ramps, but also had the alignment place double check the torque on everything when they had it on the lift. It's a pretty straightforward job.
