When I did mine the other day I only removed the drop link (16/17mm) and the pinch nut that holdes the strut near the hub.
Didn't need to undo or remove the other bits.
Seemed like it wasn't going to budge until I started hitting the bracket the drop link goes through with a hammer.
Also grease was useful when refitting new struts.
Piece of piss really but the design of how the strut connects to the hub is pretty poor.
Datsun engineering is far superior.
