Lift the vehicle on a lift and first remove the bolt securing the stabilizer bar to the suspension control arm. Then remove the nut from the ball joint that connects the control arm to the wheel hub and the bolt that connects the control arm to the vehicle frame (you may need a puller or a fork lever to extract the ball joint from the hub). Continue by removing the other ball joint, the bolt connecting the shock absorber to the arm, and the bolt securing the arm itself to the frame.

Then install the new control arms, tightening the respective securing bolts properly.
