How did you "jack down" the lower control assembly enough to squeeze it out?
I also thought aligning the springs in the rubber end-caps was a bit challenging. The spring compressor makes it tough to move things around. I also didn't align the top of the strut with the 3 holes for the attachment point the first time. I had to recompress and align it.
I am now nervous to tackle the rear as that is supposed to be the hard part  |
I placed a telescopic jack between the upper wishbone and inner fender.
The rear was easier than the front
Just remember that access to the rear strut mounts are via the speakers in the rear shelf, no need to remove the entire rear shelf as some have done. Just pop out the speaker covers and remove the speakers (3 bolts).
