A. Loosen the outer cv bolt bolt with the tires on the ground.
First off - driver's side can be removed without suspension disassembly.
Secondly, if you can dig up a helper and a long pry bar you can pop the 
lower control arm out of the strut by tensioning the sway bar down with 
the pry bar (wheels in the air). While one person pushes down on the 
sway bar to pop the control arm ball joint stud out, the other pulls 
outward on the strut assembly. Once its clear, release tension. There's 
even an indentation in the subframe at the right angle to place the pry 
bar correctly.
Advantage to this method? - No need to redo alignment, lots faster.
