The driver's side will be the most difficult. If you have a floor jack place it underneath the lower ball joint and jack up slighly. This will release the tension on the two shock nuts. You can also cut off the lower rubber bushing inside the fender well with a utility knife. This will give you a little more room. Jack up the lower a-arm carefully. Those two nuts should be 14mms. Use a stubby wrench to hold the bottom nut and come in on the top nut with a 14mm deep socket, extensions and rachet. There is also a special tool sold at Kragen, Pep Boys etc. which will hold the shock shaft and allow you to unscrew the 14mm nuts. Before you begin I would soak the two nuts with PBlaster, very important. Those nuts should loosen right up after soaking with the PBlaster. You can get that at Kragen, pep Boys etc.
Good luck.
