Disconnect the ABS line from the mounting in the spring strut.

Remove:

the screw for the drive shaft using a screwdriver in the brake disc vents
the link from the anti-roll bar
the nut for the ball joint / link arm. Clean the exposed threads outside the nut. Spray using rust solvent before removing the nut.

NOTE:

Counterhold at the ball joint pinion using a Torx TX 40 when removing the nut. This is so that the ball joint boot does not turn.
