Pushing down on the hub assembly helps. Once the damper is free of the hub move it to the rear and drop it down out of the top hat locator.

Doing it this way means you don't have to unplug anything.

It took me literally 10mins to remove each front damper, and that includes jacking up and removing the wheel.
Could be totally wrong, but don't you drive an F30? I really don't think its possible to remove them safely, meaning without scraping the fenders, without unbolting the LCA's...
