Alright CDV was removed today! Mission accomplished. Used the madrussian diy. Said it was supposed to take me 30 minutes for whatever reason took me a little more than an hour . But that's not that bad, it was alright. Things I did notice in comparison to the guide. Skid plate removal? Was not needed at all! Don't know if that's normal or not. Also so no air would enter at all, I clamped the tube before doing any work at all. I think that saved me from having to bleed my brakes because the car now drives great!

tl;dr CDV successfully removed
