Order of Operations:
NOTE: THE FOLLOWING OPERATION IS DANGEROUS. IF YOU HAVE NOT SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE SUBBASSEMBLY OF A STRUT BEFORE, LEAVE THE SUBASSEBLY TO A PROFESSIONAL.
1.Place the stock strut in the spring compressor. Place the bottom end of spring on the three lower clamps, making sure to tilt it toward the rear enough to place the impact wrench and 21 mm socket onto the central nut on top of the strut assembly. (Figure 1)
2.Remove the 21mm nut and the strut cap from the top of the stock strut. Be careful when you remove the bolt; sometimes the shock and spring will fall to the ground. (Figure 2)
