I'm working on replacing rear wheel bearing by removing the carrier. I had the swap bar links removed but stucked on how to remove to 2 things

Do i have to remove this nut in order to lower the control arms in order to remove the carrier from the shock?



How about this cable? How do i remove it?

From section 42-10 of the Bentley Boxster manual:

Remove alum. diagnonal braces and chassis reinforcement plate.

Disconnect sway bar link at end of sway bar.

Working at transmission drive flange remove inner CV joint retaining bolts and disconnect inner CV joint from transmission. Not stated by my training is to before doing this mark the two mating parts so you get them back together in the same orientation as before.

Cover and protect the inner CV joint end.

Leave transmission in gear and apply parking brake to make removal of inner CV joint retaining bolts easier.

Loosen clamping bolt bolt between wheel bearing carrier and strut assembly. Remove wheel bearing carrier from strut and remove bearing carrier with drive axle.

Remove hex nut from drive axle and remove drive axle from wheel carrier. If necessary use a brass drift or suitable puller to remove axle shaft from wheel bearing carrier.

Press wheel hub from carrier using bolts supplied in press/puller set or suitable press tools. Tighten bolts evenly until hub is free.
