Hi,
I removed only the strut by unscrewing the screws on top of it with, I left the tubes in places where they were.
Good luck,
Michael

No, I am sorry I didn't take any pictures... what do you mean by "lock ring"?

I have to say that I didn't disassemble the strut myself, I brought it to a company specialized in repairing hydraulic systems where they replaced for me the rubber seals inside.
From what I remember the lock ring looked like the second from the left or the first from the right.
