I chickened out, waiting for a second set of hands.
Do you think I am better off reattaching strut mount and then removing control arm?
Should I disconnect e brake cable?

Seems like there is a lot of stuff that can stressed or broken going this route. Mainly the trailing arm. I disconnected and moved forward but it is still on control arm. I imagine that When I lower the lca it will really push down on the trailing arm.

I am trying to visualize the whole thing.
Remove lca bolt from body, lower to get off mount, swing towards back of car until trailing arm releases while being weary of e brake cable. Need to not lower too much that it stresses brace. Keep eye on axle so it doesn't come crashing down and get ruined. Right side, no e brake and brace swings out of way. 😊

DWBOX,

Come on, you are almost there… just remove the thing and share the good news

BTW, don't even think about removing the parking brake cable as you will open a new can of worms… those would not go back together easy...
