What I did is I dropped the arm down out of the way and used a distributor wrench .

I drilled the old ones out and used an extendable magnet tool to put the new bolts in from the bottom.

With the suspension in the car, it is kind of hard. If you have the front springs out of the car, it is really easy. There is access throught the space where the a-arm mounts to the subframe. But like I said, if the springs and a arms are still in the way, it will be a pain. I hope this helps, if not then I guess i'm stupid. hahaahah

Well my springs were removed and the A arms were just hanging
from their bushings in the crossmember.

Well then you are all set. Just reach in through the hole closest to the front of the car on both sides (driver and passenger) and you should feel the nut. If you can't fit a wrench in there, then you might have to take the control arm off. There is enough room in there to get a wrench on it and then turn the bolt from inside the engine bay with a ratchet.
