Thread stuff. Very good stuff. I will read it all again in the am. 1:42 am here and a car alarm went off.

I don't think that you will be able to remove the springs, you will need to remove the strut in one piece and dissasemble it out of the car...
Don't worry as this is still plenty of fun...
One suggetion is to be extra careful when you remove the ball joint from the wheel hub, because you don't want to tear the rubber that keeps the grease on the ball joing, otherwise you will have to buy a new lower control arm and these are not cheap...
BTW, how many miles on your car? Because these control arms are wear items...
Good luck!
PS: After reading Steve comments, his suggestion of removing the bolt from the base instead of the ball joint is a much safer approach so you don't risk damaging the rubber boot
