I did it recently lying on the gravel outside my house.
Remove the front wheels.
Remove the brake lines
Jack up the front.
Secure the front suspension
Using an impact wrench where ever you can, remove all the bolts holding the suspension and steering rack to the car, including the top strut nuts.
Undo the connection on the steering rack under the wheel.
Entire suspension should drop.
Probably takes a half hour if you use the impact wrench so not much time on your back. Wear glasses since rust and dirt will fall into your face.
My better impact gun wasn't charged up so I used my $25 harbor freight plug in one. Worked fine. When you want to break down the front suspension further, make sure you have a MAP torch. Heat is your friend.
Edit - Andy reminded me about the steering coupler clamp behind the gas tank.
Thanks, I’ll try that. My only impact wrench is a 1500 ft/lb. monster from HFT that ended in about a quarter second my eight year attempt to remove the rear axle nuts.
Now if I could just get the dual taper stud out of the shock absorber strut.
