Piss easy mate...

Undo bolt that connects hub to bottom of shock, undo nut on top of strut in engine bay.

Smack the hub of the shock, take out, new one in, do bolts back up DONE

 

Tab had the great idea of putting the bolt in back to front to force the clamping on the hub apart - putting a washer in to wedge against. I'd disconnect the anti roll bar at the bush under the floor and lever it all down with a long bar and minimum of hammering myself. Did it this way yesterday and it all worked apart easily. Disconnecting the steering joint on the side you are doing also gives you more access if you need it.

 

Yeh, I said "smack" as a bit of a wide phrase. Levering down underneath the anti roll bar worked for me the other day also, no need to disconnect it though
