Yes I think that's it, it's the bit where you have the disc backing plate flopping around. There comes a stage when you can pull the shaft out without doing more stripping down. ;)

It was a nightmare. Fortunately you will have the help of a good mechanic. As I recall It took me two sessions of about 4 hours. At least the weather was stonking hot though that worked against me slowing me down. Cleanliness was a big slow down. Trying to shift the track rod end nut slowed me down as I hoped to take it right off but the taper started turning before I could. Not having worked on a Jimny before meant I was working in the dark and that seriously slowed me down; for example getting to understand the amount of grease to put in the CV joint and around it too.
I thought I did a write up but can't find it. Here is a pic of work in progress.
