Just a heads up for you xdrive guys. This method doesn't work for the front coilovers. Okay it does but it's very difficult. The drive shaft (right word?) Keeps the hub from being pushed down enough to rotate the coilover out from under the fender.
After installing/uninstalling my camber plates a bunch of times I found it much easier to loosen the top hat bolts almost until they're out then lower just the hub while kinda twisting it.
Once the hub drops out you can very easily slide the coilover out. Much much easier in my opinion.
Might be easier for you rwd guys as well but I hope this helps someone!
