Spring strut replacement

[tmontague]

hmm, I haven't inspected mine yet but if this is the case then I'll have to compare the pricing of the strut+mount+coil vs the quick strut. It'll likely just make sense to spend the extra and purchase a quick strut.

My plan for the crash bolt nuts is to spray them with PB Blaster every day for a week leading to actually removing them. Then use an air gun. I;m hoping they will budge loose before any stripping happens. What's the easiest way to remove a stripped bolt if this ends up happening?

I ended up having to weld in a piece of an 8mm hex wrench. The wrench was pretty low quality and ended up twisting several times before the nut broke loose. I think the only thing that kept it from shearing off completely was the PB blaster.

If you have a replacement end link, you can just drill out the stud and be done with it.
