I've done this, and its pretty straight forward. I can remember two gotchas though. Number one, I had to put a pretty good extension on my 1/2" breaker bar to bust loose those nuts on the bottom. Number two, getting the old bushings out of the upper control arm bracket. After many different attempts, I finally took a cold chisel and split them. Seating them was a piece of cake with two oversized sockets.
