I just finished changing both control arms. It wasn't too bad. Honestly the worst part was try to tighten the bolts 120 degree after the specified torque. I didn't have an angle torque wrench so I got my protractor and marked the bolt. I then turned the bolt until it lined up with 120 degrees on my protractor. I hope that's what it means to turn an additional 120 degrees. Seemed awfully tight!

In case it helps others:
When I finished installing the control arms I put the tires back on and drove the car up on ramps to do the final tightening of the control arms to frame bolts. It was tight, but much better than trying to tighten them with the car on the ground.
