It's not the easiest, that's for sure. I tried dropping my gas tank and couldn't get those damn bolts out for nothing so i just took all the bolts out for the upper control arm mount and that gave me enough room to get a wrench and socket on the upper control arm bolt. I did the same for retorquing the upper control arm bolt. I'd recommend trying that before you try to lower the gas tank. There's no reason to remove the upper control arm mount if you aren't replacing it.
