ohh right, ya dont have to take the discs off pal, ya just disconnect anti roll bar droplink and brake hose braket (both 17mm i think) then remove the bolt at the bottom of the strut at the back of the hub just above the cv boot, get a pry bar or summat and lever the bottom of the strut out of the hub, it probly wont come out until you slacken the top mount right off, then once you got the bottom of the strut out just take the top mount nut off. easier said then done to get the bottom of the strut out of the hub as it will be nicely seized in.......let us know how ya get on :thumbsup:

Give the strut hole in the hub a damn good clean after you've take the strut out, and maybe copper grease the strut, just to help the bloody thing back in.

For peoples reference, hub nut size is either a 32 or 30 for early models.
