Checkout the Superlift instructions (page #4 of this PDF):

Essentially you use the "unloading tool" to push the key further up (the cross member & tool takes the weight) and that allows you to remove the adjustment bolt & holding block. Then you slowly lower the tension off the unloading tool & the entire key just falls out. The bars are just indexed within the key & lower control arm & slides right out after the key is removed.
Guys have used jaw pullers & even c-clamps in place of the special tool - some are rather "backwoods" lol
