Thanks for showing us how to remove man, we really appreciate it

Happy to help

Everywhere was saying to remove upper control arm, but this showed it's possible without. Good thing because my pinch bolt won't budge.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. On the D3, removing the brake assembly wasn't required. Is it on the D4 required or preferred?

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

Same as D3, prefered. I always remove it to do a brake relube "while im in there".

Where did u put the pry bar to get the damper to stop coming back down… that’s my issue

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

I didnt use a prybar. Look starting at 14:17. I explain how I removed the lower fork bolt to create clearance

and of course, fully deflated bag. Remove residual pressure valve first so it's easier to work with
