Default SC430 rear upper control arm (UCA) replacement

Can't find any info on doing this job. Looked here and YouTube. I do believe that its going to be necessary to lower the subframe in order to get to the UCA bolts. I lowered the subframe on one side(driver) and it did not come down low enough to access the UCA bolts. I'm guessing that I am going to need to remove all 4 subframe bolts in order to get it low enough. That's tomorrows job. Has anybody tried this?

Well I finally got the job done ! Removing all 4 subframe bolts in order to get the UCA bolts low enough is NOT the answer. The trick is to remove the spring/shock (strut) from the car. Once removed access to the UCA bolts is easy. From there on its just like any other car job. It took me 2 hours (Taking my time) to remove ALL the carpets out of the trunk just to gain access to the strut towers.
