Even this old man can do this stuff. Yeh, it's work. You need either a tool to pull balky T bars, or "rig" one or two 2x4's etc and crowbar. Once you have the LCA hardware loose, and the T bar retainer clips removed, you can pry the pivot area of the LCA to the rear and force the T bar out the rear. Usually you can wiggle it some and it will then come out of the LCA socket.
I would darn certain check other bushings at the same time, the LCA bushing, the lower joints, and tie rod ends. Whatever it is that you will pull apart, you don't need to do it "twice."
