1.) PLEASE USE METRIC TOOLS! This is a european car and guess what measuring system their engineers use? I see all these other DIY's saying to use SAE or English size sockets and such... It MIGHT work, but you run a big risk of rounding out the nuts/bolts! If you do that, you will need special tools to extract.
2.) Be patient and take your time (2-3 hours). Its tempting to do things right before a run or such, but trying to do a repair under time pressure is not ideal. You run a big risk of doing something wrong and then having to redo it.
3.) Try to do this on a level surface as you are removing a strut brace. And for your own safety should parking brake fail, etc...
