Work has begun. I reached a stopping point. I didn't have a socket big enough for the axle nut! I'll go home and search my garage. Paint, anti-seize, brushes, and brake cleaner were bought for tomorrow. I'll take my smaller 1.5 ton jack to lift the lower control arm. The swivel socket seems to almost reach one bolt without issues. I was impressed with a 3/8 mini impact. It was able to remove the shock mount nuts and bolts. A battery tender will charge up the battery. The hand brake will also be adjusted. I adjusted it back when new brakes were installed. It needs a little more adjustment.
