more on control arm and wheel carrier

MD, I was just looking at the service manual, and the bushing that is between the spring link and the wheel carrier is actually mounted on the wheel carrier.

Now since I have not done this ever, the manual does not mention anywhere that the spring needs to be removed or compresses in order to remove the wheel carrier, is this correct?
If so I should be able to get the wheel carrier off take it to a shop and get the bearing and bushings replaced, and then install it on my own, then repeat the process on the other side.

Does that sound doable?
