SH*T strut removal -help!!

[Wayne]

The beauty of spending 140 quid on some amazing quality coilovers.. they come with their own nuts! So all I need to do is get a rubber top mount and bearing (if there is one). Job done, the shock acctually drops out (which I didn't bloody realise!!). Going to refit it now and just take it canny until the new top mount arrives. Thanks for the support and ideas guys!

You should always replace top mounts when fitting new suspension anyway, it you don't you'll find the old ones will fail very soon after fitting.

+1 sound advice.

if you're really stuck, simply chop up the cup sticking out over the top of the strut tower. will drop roight out then. when its off the car you have better access to strip it down too, or just bin the whole thing and replace it with new bits
