Remove the bolts holding the lower and upper control arms and tie bar and trailing arm. although in the picture the bottom strut bolt is removed it isn't neccessary

Remove the knuckle normally it's best to remove the rear brake cable. In our case, we lowered the car on the rack and supported the knuckle assembly
