undo hub nut,
jack up,
Wheel off,
Undo the bottom ball joint pin or nut, lever down with a big bar and swing the hub free
pull shaft out

job done, 10 mins tops

it doesnt require any sort of suspension or brake strip down

Thanks James, I understand about the not requiring full strip down but I am renewing everything......

Do they simply pull out to remove them then? I was comparing them to the rear ones with the t55 torx bolts....

thanks

the drivers side is clipped in, remove the diff cover to find the clip and remove it, the passenger side will just pull out.
