jefe de jefes Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Pressure wash the sucker. Then you won't get all that dirt in your eyes when your down there. Quote Link to comment

MicroMachinery Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 There are 5 bolts. 3 up top, and two below the strut. It's not hard, and there's no rocket science to it. Pressure was(h) it and put the ratchets to it like Jefe said. Quote Link to comment
RadioLobo Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yeah man clean it off first, i couldn't find the bolts at first because there was so much dirt and grim. Its just three bolts on top of the strut tower and then four bolts for the lower ball joint and they come out. Quote Link to comment
RadioLobo Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Oh yeah you can take the two off the steering knuckle too and leave the ball joint on the control arm ;) Quote Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Just watch the spring tension when pulling the strut... I embedded one in the ground due to the upper part being destroyed... nothing held the strut to the top hat anymore. Quote Link to comment

Like how many bolts is there? That's only the strut. There are also the two lower control arms, tension rods, a sway bar and the cross member that holds most of this stuff together plus all the nuts/bolts/washers. Quote Link to comment
