Default 1998 GS 400 strut arm broke

So I have to say this is the strangest thing to break on our Lexus . Coming home from doctors and two blocks from home turned the corner and the strut arm broke . I ordered a new one and am going to replace it my self but my question is ? is there any diagrams that show that part of the car ? If there is an order to taking things apart any special tools ? The dealer gave me a paper with a sort of diagram but its just filled with oem part numbers . if anybody has anything that could help it would be greatly appreciated . I found one video on youtube , which was great but no torque specs . Thanks guys .

What is the strut arm? Are you talking about the lower control arm?
