Very helpful guide, well done taking the time and effort to do it
Just a few corrections and a run down of socket/spanner sizes though: (may aswel do a full list actually)
Driveshaft/hub nut 30mm
Caliper bolts 19mm
Trackrod end 16mm standard (17mm on replacements)
Drop links 18mm standard (19mm on replacements)
Droplink end 5mm allen key
Top mount nuts 13mm
Ball joint pinch bolt 17mm (16mm for the back nut as standard)
Top strut nut 18mm standard (replacements usually 19mm but have seen the occasional 17mm)
Top strut insert T40 standard (insert on replacement shocks very)
