You might check the shop manual to see what they recommend, and if you don't know better, that would be the procedure to follow. But when I've seen it done, the car is supported at the frame with a jackstand and with a hydraulic jack under the lower A-frame. Remove the backing plate (tie it up after removal so it doesn't hand by the hose), remove the upper outer or lower inner control arm pin, and lower the jack (VERY CAREFULLY) to relieve the spring.

PS - same procedure as if you were removing and replacing a spring. Pretty straight-forward. But do be careful!

PPS - yes, thanks DBeB, also remove the sway bar link.
