how easy..

It's a complete pain in the arse and a bitch of a job!!

Jonesy, you must have a secret that I don't know
 
I wrote a guide (drop subframe) and another member wrote a guide with a different method (remove hubs).

It seems like some people find it easy and some difficult, the difficulty comes from trying to remove the strut from the hub. There isn't enough room. But, some people say it falls straight out, it's possible this is easy on cups and difficult on full fats.
 
I agree with the it being a ******* of a job. Me and my brother went for the compress the springs on the car to remove the strut from the hub method. Not the safest way so i wouldnt recommend it being done that way. One of few jobs that id pay for it to be done.
