mentally preparing for front suspension work

[JointTech]

im replacing all my front steering/suspension parts.
tierods, control arms, ball joints, pitman, idler, coil springs

I know its not going to be easy getting the old stuff out. Im planning on soaking with pb blaster for a few days before starting.

The one thing Im not sure of is the control arms and or spring holders. Are they rivetted in? Am I going to have to use a cutoff tool for any of that stuff?

trying to mentally prepare for any scarey sparks im going to have to deal with.
