We don't have the time to go out there weekly during the salt/slush season
and keep the threads clean!!

LOL!!  It was easy to do....I just kept pushing and pushing with my right
leg, on my
20 inch ratchet, and finally the right rear TS just went "pop".  After that
the
strut came right out.  'Course we had to park the car with chocks and the
emer.
brake VERY tight, until we could find another tension strut.

It might be a good idea to "exercise" all those fasteners up in the
"corroded north"
every once in a while after you get them loose the first time, so that you
CAN do
the job in 20 minutes.

;-)!!!!!

I'm going to TRY to make a video of when I swap the struts on the black
car.....someday, when it comes back from being painted.....don't ask!
