Hi Trev.
No just separate the hub from the drive shaft, you can purchase a funnel which helps fit a CV gaiter.

Just make sure you have a big torque wrench for doing the nut back up. The fronts are much tighter than the rears and this caught me out.

To split and remove top of the strut, this should explain it all (and make it look easier than it is....)

Nice breakdown of the job, just about to do mine. Could you please confirm the hub to driveshaft nut is 32 A/F, also did you experience any problems reintroducing the bottom ball joint into the hub using the strut/hub together removal method.
Thanks, Drew.

Hi Drew.
Don’t know why this popped up on the page I was looking at.
Answer to your question is yes it’s a 32mm AF nut usually with a chisel tab that you will need to fold back up before undoing. This is one of the few jobs my 3/4 drive socket set comes out for
