back off the T bar adjuster bolts , remove the clips behind the bars , undo the 15/16 nuts on the lower control arm pivots & the 3/4 " nuts on the rear of the struts & pry the lower control arm back until the T bars get loose enough the pull them out , make sure the weight is off the suspension when you back off the T bar adjusters

What are the t-bars and do you need any special tools.

if you do this my way you need a 3/4 , 15/16 sockets & needle nose plier to remove the clip & a pry bar , nothing special required
