You can't do it when it's in the car. Not going to happen. You need to remove the whole control arm from the car.

On mine the side with the hood prop was a PITA because the hood prop base was there. I only moved it out of the way just enough to fish out control arm. The other side was easy. My hood prop is different than yours and on the opposite side though.
