[QUOTE="twistedneck, post: 11838276, member: 130159"] make sure you get a hold and drive type socket to loosen the strut bolts and re-tighten them. i just used an impact (cheap electric $49 impact gun from HF) worked great. however i had to hold the strut shaft with two sets of vice grips with towels around the contact area. found out from a buddy that he did that once and the piston un -screwed and popped off w/ 14BAR of pressure and just barely missed his face. not sure where to find one of those magic strut nuts that hold and drive however. anyone?? Also, i recommend the doube sided allen key spring compressors. they are much better for gently seating the spring and making that top strut mount nice and tight. the 3 finger strut compressors that pro's use dont offer that kind of gentle seating that you get by going little by little with the manual spring compressors.
