Nearly at the new bearing press in stage, waiting for paint to dry...........hopefully pressing in bearing on sunday, so all pics will be posted monday.
The parts diagram for the top of the strut shows a replaceable strut "bearing"..........
The special strut top nut tool worked great, and the strut bottom plate ( thought that would have been welded to the strut damper body but it wasn't ! ) freed off but was not removable.
The strut spring took some compressing, it looks as if its quite long when "de compressed".
Anyone have the length of the strut spring when de compressed please, as i would like to de compress for de rusting and repainting but feel as thought the compressor clamps I have will not be long enough ???
