Personally, I had trouble keeping the strut close to the chassis. You really need a mechanism strap to prevent it from working at the knot, which for me resulted in the transmission coming loose and the gearbox oil on the ground.

Hello, I had difficulty doing this disassembly! Luckily, I discovered your explanation in pictures: it is clear and some tips to get to the bottom of what others hide for a vicious reason ... To tell the truth people will quickly make the difference as was my case! Bravo for a clear and concise document.
