Bring it out to Sacramento -- we have a nice wall-mounted spring compressor you can use.

I would love to drive to Cali and take you up on that. The only problem is the time it takes to get there. :driving:

Totally. I have everything but an impact gun...and a vice. :eek: Definitely need to get one of those to hold the shock.

I did my Swifts without a vice. Just laid it on the ground and had at it.

My Swift install went easy. Too bad Koni's werent out when I got my Swifts so I could have done it once instead of twice!

blah, you dont really need a vise, do you? :D


one tip i usually tell folks is crack loose the front strut top shaft nut while it's still on the car.

and i suppose the other tip is to mark the strut top tower bolt to the car to make the orientation easier when you put the strut back together. :D

Pics are being taken and I'll post them up soon. :)

I'm trying to convince myself to continue work today, though (my back is ailing me). Torquing the nut to spec on the top hat is a PITA. I had to lay it on the ground and hold the assembly in place with my foot while I torqued it. I assume a vice would help with that and I might give it a try.

Struggle through it!! Im dying to hear the results. +1 for your troubles.
