And in response to your question I have watched mine come off while being lowered and it didn't seem that difficult. Once the strut is out its just a case of swapping over I believe.
Edit - After compressing the spring of course

what side has failed? i will be listing a brand new one with bearing this week as i literally just sold the 206.
i bought it from ECP a few months ago as a sided pair but only used the drivers side, so have the passenger one still.
