[QUOTE="dirtyd88, post: 12330760, member: 84007"] A socket ratchet was used on the top nut while we held the strut shaft with a pair of channel locks to prevent it from spinning. The tech mentioned that these struts have the shaft thread into the body, so if the shaft did in fact end up turning, it damaged/broke the seal and allowed the oil to leak of the strut, even more so when it would compress, throwing more oil out. I see where this would make sense, but we took every precaution to not allow something like this to happen. Like stated many times before, my friend knows what he is doing. This was either just a freak accident on our part on reassembly. But it's fixed now, and all is well. I do wish now that I had found a way to transfer over the "iso" on the stock spring so the BMR springs don't make noise against the strut perch... [/QUOTE]
