Lift the vehicle and remove the wheel, disconnect the electrical connector and the brake line. Unscrew the bolts above the brakes and also the one at the base of the spring. Open the bonnet and remove the wipers. Create space to access the nut above the shock absorber, unscrew it while holding the part to be replaced to prevent it from falling.
