Not sure what you mean by fully loaded..?

The car is currently on jack stands with the wheels removed and the suspension is just hanging there. I think the UCA is as far down as it can go

I am afraid that if I unbolt the four bolts holding the Ball Joint to the upper control arm the lower control arm will suddenly drop down.

Should I remove the brake caliper and wheel hub or can it be safely done with those in place?

I have a tool I borrowed from auto zone called an upper ball joint seperator that is used to seperate the ball joint from the spindal once it is free of the upper control arm.

I want to be sure I am doing it safely and will not have any sudden surprises
