Hello, You can find the stud of those drop links with either hex or torx. The saddle of a floor jack can find purchase at the strong point of the frame 16" straight in, that is to say perpendicular to the car's center line, from where the front wing ends at the door. Bend your bod down and have a look. Use a safety stand because you'll need a bit of the jack's power to relieve the stress on the link to easily withdraw the studs from their mounting holes. Man, that's a lot of words for such an easy job. As per an earlier post of mine; when you have any wheel off, inspect the condition of the guide pin boots and presence of the caps. With a 7mm allen you can remove the pins one at a time, clean, regrease and reinstall them with out disturbing anything or risking down time. Kira
