yes you can do it with hand tools...your gonna need to put it on jack stands for leverage...and it would help if you sprayed the bolts with pb blaster in case they are rusted....put it on jackstands and support the rearend with a jack...if you go to installuniversity.com you can get a tutorial on how to change them down to all tools needed

i did do my panhard bar by hand it was not to bad i didnt even use pb blaster or anything.
i will put it on ramps and use a breaker bar how much should a breaker bar cost?
or should i just use a metal pipe over the wrench so i can put it off easier

When I did my LCA's, I used hand tools. I soaked the bolts with PB Blaster and let them soak. However, I still managed to break the bolts and had to borrow a saw to cut the old control arms out. It sucked
