Urgent help (Suspension Strut)

[DaNnY_LaD]

Im currently doing my front suspension but i cant get the drivers side Strut out..

the top nut is off and so is the arb bolt along with the Hub bolt now i cant push it down as the drive shaft it touching the wishbone bracket and the strut wont go up any more as its hitting the under side of the Mount


How do i get it out..
Please help!

try doing it back up with the top nut.then relise the strut bolt were it goes into top of the hub then bang it down with a copper hammer and plenty of wd 40

[james walker]

Cheers though mate

was a utter pain todo though lol

 

[james walker]

ha ha, ive always found suspension fairly easy to do, having the correct tools helps no end. as does some penetrating fluid the night before on the bolts. oh and a impact gun

yup the £30 impact gun from netto worked a treat..
