lol no I have the strut/spring assembly together.
I couldn't figure out a method to get the strut back into the well and onto the perch without compressing the spring. I couldn't compress the spring/strut assembly far enough with my own stength. Not to mention was I was trying with my own stenght the car started to shift on the jack stands/jacks. So that was the real point when I stopped trying to put them on manually.
