After removing the 2 bolts on the lower control arm, my friend and I could barely budge the the lower control arms to pull out/position in the strut. Took me 2 hours to wrestle the strut out then maneuver it back in on my own. Then 1 hour for the other side with help from a friend. That time was pure wrestling/elbow grease and excludes any bolting/unbolting time. Probably would've been world's easier removing all 4 bolts on the LCA instead of the 2 you suggest.

If you remove the sway bar bolt it is much easier, removing the far inside bolt of the LCA may alter alignment. Also with that bolt still in make it much easier to use a jack and push the lca buck up to the Hub.
