Big fella, do you mean when removing those 6 torx bolts you still drop the motor on that side?
Never had to do that on the U12, I remove the 3 bolts on the hub knuckle which allows the strut to push out away from the gearbox, giving the drive-shaft room... but I don't think the U13 has those 3 bolts on the knuckle and has a different control arm mount/setup?
