A good sturdy jack with a SWL in excess of your car
2 solid jack stands with a SWL in excess of your car

To start place the car on a flat surface and engage either 1st gear or reverse and chock both front wheels, loosen all the rear wheel bolts and then jack the car and place in the axle stands in accordance with your cars manual.
Next remove both rear wheels and store the so as not to damage them.

Now you can remove the nuts holding the Drop links on, you need a 15mm spanner (this is where I wished I bought a ratchet spanner set) and a 5mm Allen key to stop the ball the whole thing from spinning as you attempt to undo it, the bottom ones are a bit more fiddly due to the hub, calliper and handbrake cable being in the way but with a bit of fiddling you will get there
