Lift the vehicle on a lift or suitable car stands and remove the front wheels. Proceed by removing the upper nut of the shock absorber, pulling out the rubber with the washer; then remove the lower fixing pin and extract the shock absorber from its seat.

Slightly lift the hub with a jack and remove the upper control arm (the triangular-shaped one) and replace it with the modified one, tightening the respective fixing pins adequately. Complete the installation by refitting the shock absorber (check its correct operation first and replace it with a new one if necessary).

Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
