You basically have to dismount the strut assembly from the car.
If you are doing repairs like this, you should buy the E34 Bentley Service Manual. _________________

Hey Ed thnx for the reply! I downloaded the service manual online from another site & from what I heard it's not as easy as the rears so I guess I'll let my mechanic do it.. _________________
