Like any other MOPAR. First, loosen your balljoint nuts. DON'T take them all the way off. Separate them from the spindle. (T bar tension will help with this) Let the tension off the T bars. Remove the clips before you forget. unbolt the upper A arms and remove them. disconnect the brake line and remove the spindle. Remove the nut from the strut rod. Loosen the LCA nut and back it off so it's flush with the stud. Give it a darn good whacking with a BFH. That will back it, and the T bar out. DO NOT under any circumstances use pliers, vice grips, or anything else on the T bar that can gouge it. This will cause a FRACTURE POINT.

simple

(yeah yeah I know, the lower ball joint is held to the spindle by two big bolts, and to the LCA by one. I didn't mention the shocks or tie rods. I'm giving the guy SOME credit)

And then you'll need to read this thread from, Ahem, FABO to replace the LCA bushings...
