Or you can take the suspension apart at any of the junctions, including but not limited to the LCA where it meets the subframe, the UCA where it meets the subframe and the strut top mounting nuts.

It's just like LEGO only bigger. You'll figure it out.

Archidictus has the best idea here. I thought of this too when I had to take mine out. Unbolt the lca from the frame and then the 3 bolts that hold the big bushing bracket to the frame. If you have air tools, this will take 2 mintues.

Or

If you are really set on popping out those lower ball joints, check this thread out and it'll change your life: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=887859
