Remove: 

• the soundproofing over the drive shaft (applies to certain versions)
• the screw for the drive shaft. Counterhold using a screwdriver in the brake disc vents. Tap in the end of the drive shaft approximately 20 mm  into the wheel hub
• the link from the anti-roll bar. Counterhold using a Torx wrench in the ball joint pinion to prevent the boot from turning
• the nut for the ball joint / link arm. Clean the exposed threads outside the nut. Spray using rust solvent before removing the nut.
