[Shotimes] Front Strut R&R

[Mike.Wojton@us.o-i.com]

When I changed my front springs again here recently, I
couldn't get the tension rod nuts loose at all.  Fearing the
breakage of yet another part, I decided instead to remove
the bolt that holds the control arm to the frame.  Much
easier to get that out.  Then it just took some prying to
move everything down far enough.  Definitely takes two
people though.
