chock the front wheels front and back.
So far i have undone one side and removed it pics to follow.
But pretty simple to do leave it on the ground undo one side of the tie rod bar and pop the joint swing it around out of the way.
If you have a swaybar do the same i guess i don't have one.

Then undo the radius arm 24mm spanner or deep socket on a half inch drive ratchet is ideal.
I cleaned the ends up and coated them with a rust converter primer in one.

What i did was one side at a time removed the chock from in front of the wheel and just pushed the wheel forward and kept chocking it until they fit back in a bit of manipulating with a screw driver to line the holes up and push the bolts back through and good to go.
