And how do you lift an entire knuckle/strut assembly back onto the car
that weighs more than I care to remember? I have never needed to remove
the LCA bolt to remove the front struts. I simply hammer down on the
spindle to pop the strut out and push down on the LCA with a prybar. The
top 3 nuts at the top are unfastened last.
