- Remove shock
- Weld together a tool of questionable integrity to compress your coil
- Remove suspension bumper stop
- Disconnect ball joint from upper control arm
- Swing lower suspension components out of the way
- Compress spring slightly so that you can unbolt spring seat
- Swing lower control arm down as far as you can (while performing 8)
- Grab that spring after compressing it the bare minimum needed to wrestle the bastard away from the upper control arm
- Get ready to pull the rotorhub and it's bearings
- Attempt to dislodge the outer races of the bearings from the rotorhub, while working diligently to ensure you ruin the latter
- Buy new bearings, races, seals, and of course, rotorhubs
Notes on putting all that crap back in:
- Rebush and install the upper control arm before anything else, while you still have all of the suspension components removed
- Reinstall all the other shit like an idiot, saving the coil and shock for last, because you really don't want to do the coil
- Attempt to reinstall coil (you don't have to spend much time performing this step before moving on to 4)
- Remove upper control arm
- Reattempt to reinstall coil
- After coil is seated in shock tower but still compressed, work in hurried terror to reinstall upper control arm
- Save the rotorhubs and bearings to get around to them when you feel like it
