Quickest

Undo the 36mil nut over the front hubs with car down

Then jack and take off wheels as you would

Undo top suspension struts

Undo lower arms from sub frame

Undo track rod ends

Undo bolts holding anti roll bar

Drain gearbox fluid

Pry out os drive shaft

Ns has that longer shaft
Get dirty taking that 1 out

You dropping from under or lifting?!?

Lifting is better

Just undo the mounts and undo your plugs And little ancillaries And its a piece if payliss

But putting if back with arms connected to hub is a night mare to put back

It's always best to go thru it all piece by piece

Take your time cuz you don't want to make a mistake
