11) Using the 18mm open ended spanner undo the nut that holds the lower suspension arm. (Sorry but there is no picture here). Once the nut is undone you will not be able to remove it as the drive shaft is in the way. Use the soft faced mallet to tap the drive shaft in a little until you have enough clearance to remove the nut completely.
'''Note: Again this nut is of the self-locking type and should be renewed - thread lock can be used if you are too tight to buy a new one though!)'''
13) Once you have got the lower arm free, lever it down to release it and push the drive shaft out. The hardest part is now over.

14) Unclip the ABS sensor wire from the clips that secure it to the inner wing and disconnect it at the connector. This is the connector where the white plug meets the black socket. (See the picture below.) The two just pull apart. They will be tight though.
