You need to remove the springs before you unbolt everything. Otherwise when you go to unbolt the UCA the spring could send the LCA fly into whatever is underneath it.

there is no need to unbolt the uca bracket from the crossmember when removing it as a unit.

It's held to the frame by 14 bolts. The springs are captured and can't come out.
