Support the engine from the top or completely remove it.

Disconnect the brake lines and anything else attached from the body to the k-member. Disconnect the brake lines at the flex hoses.

Disconnect the lower ball joint from the spindle.

Unbolt the 6 bolts from underneath and drop the old k-member down. The k-member and a-arms will come out as one assembly.

They'll come out when you disconnect the ball joints
