"You'll probably need a good breaker bar for the steering knuckle/shock bolts"

Which bolts are you referring to here? The ones on the bottom of the strut tube? I found those exceedingly easy to remove with a 3/8" el-cheapo ratchet. I got lots of practice too as I went through about 6 ball joints at the PnP trying to find one good right and one good left ball joint. Only once in those eight removals (including the two on my car) did I resort to cheater bar and I live in the rust belt.

Now the long bolt through the bushing is a different matter.
