Get some rest. It will be worth all the hard work in the end.

yah they work, its just they scratch the coil at times. just put some clearcoat or touchup paint over the scratch.

after you put the aftermarket spring over the strut chances are you will be able to push the hat down with your hands while you screw down the nut.

better yet, have your buddies just pull it down (nono, not your pants! ) while you screw down that nut. wear safety goggles just in case.
