[Shotimes] Front Strut R&R

[Carl Prochilo]

No real questions to ask.  George Fourchy did a great remote control job
from crosscountry to get me through the uninstall aspect of the job.  I
also plan to post a revised procedure from George to my personal web site
for future reference.

Some interesting pics to see how shitty the parts can be in a 12 year old
car, keeping in mind that the strut hardware itself is about 7 years old. 
The strut insert is moveable by hand.  Completely shot.  I have no idea if
7 years is good or not for longevity.

Just need to buy a new channel lock wrench to get the retaining nut off
the strut and then put it all together again.

In case you're wondering the following parts are planned for replacement.
o  Strut insert
o  bumpers and bellows
o  strut mount
o  strut bearing

Basically everything is changed except for the strut housing.
