Maybe this will help?

It’s for the air spring strut version, but the procedure should be similar.

Same basic steps for coil/air and FWD/AWD. Parts may look a little different but the work is the same. Be careful with that upper control arm nut, it's thin and easy to slip off of. I ground down one side of a box wrench to ensure I didn't smash any fenders taking them off.
