You will need,
17mm spanner,
18mm spanner,
Various sockets ranging from 15mm to 17mm
T50 Torx Bit
Remove the wheels and place on axle stands.
Locate the first front bush bolt as pictured, use a 15mm socket and an 18mm spanner rested on the otherside.
Remove bolt, may need a wiggle
Locate the rear bush bolt as pictured, again rest an 18mm spanner on the top and undo from below
Pull out bolt
Use the torx bit and 17mm spanner on the ball joint pinch bolt
Remove bolt
Use something to lever the ball joint out the hub
Give the lower arm a wiggle and it should come free
Refit is reverse of removal, tighten the front bush bolt and rear bush bolt to 82nm and the ball joint pinch nut to 52nm
Now removal of droplinks
Undo top bolt with 15mm socket and 17mm spanner on the back of the droplink thread to stop it spinning, you can also use an allen key in the center of the thread but the spanner is stronger
Same at the bottom
