    remove 3 bolts on the top of the strut and 1 huge on on the bottom and its free. You may have to disconnect the steering stabilizer to get it out which is just one more bolt. So 5 bolts all together to remove, and putting new strut in is just as easy.

    And you do not need an impact gun just a ratchet set maybe a breaker bar to get off your wheels and a floor jack with jack stands.

    That is impressive because Chris himself couldn't get the bolt back in in the original direction. First thing Chris did when he walked in my garage was grab some vice grips and start bending out my inner fender. I was like wtf...... ohhhh ok I see.

    All you do is ratchet off the top part of this part here and pull it out of the spindle. I'm not sure if it was absolutely essential to have it disconnected but I just wanted it out of the way.

    Good, someone posted a pic.

    Either the top bolt or the bottom bolt, doesn't matter. It just helps to get that swaybar out of the way a little, but I think you can work around it.

    What looked like a puddle in the desert was actually a huge gorge and it launched me in the air and snapped the drivers side strut. Prolly wouldn't have broke if I didn't have that cheap spacer lift. You throw a 2.5" spacer on top of your shocks and you lose all travel.

    Easy, Fella! I could have done it, but we didnt want to remove the battery and everything that was in the way. :D And I really didnt bend the fender much. Maybe a 1/4" or so, because of the look on 06Bluez face. ;)
