[Shotimes] Front Strut R&R

[ROBERT SCHIRMER]

Carl

You're a better man than I. I bothered the hell out of George, and even he
could not steer me through the process. I swear my problem must have been
getting the steering knuckle bolt loose enough, so that thde strut could slide
off???

Congrats
Bob

  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.
