Drop link needs to come off the damper first. Hub off the lower arm, hub knocked off the damper, then the damper removed from the body.

you need to get the whole strut out, so you'll probably have to disconnect the lower arm, and put your weight on the hub so it moves down and you can free the strut.

Anybody have a guide on how to swap coil springs for new? I've searched around but can't find, and do you need to release the hub rom the lower arm? Im assuming you do, but hoping you dont have to!
