Seems as though I've done mine all wrong then, 200Tdi 90 so could be different. Only did it as had the rear body and tub off to work on the chassis and thought it would be a good idea to do it while access was easy, as it happens it seems as if it was ok but did it anyway. Chocked the front wheels, back up and on axle stands, rear wheels off, then just took it all off.
Big spanner to undo the big nut, bit of heat on the mounting and then a couple of sharp taps with an old bolt as a drift, came out easy. Not so easy was getting the big bolts out of the upper ends of the arms, just had to work at it, came free eventually with spanner and socket and breaker bar.
Didn't even try to undo the 3 bolts on the brackets, just cut up through the bolt end and nut with a 1mm slitting disk, tap with chisel and everything was off ready for a clean up, primer coat last thing today.
Just hope everything goes back together OK, will get plenty of coppercoat on everything even though I am replacing all bolts.
