Easiest way I found to put the Strut back into the spindle is oiling up the inside of the knuckle where the strut goes back in.. I put the strut up into the tower and put the bolt on, but not all the way.. I had anotehr person push down on the control arm as well as pushing the knuckle towards the motor. While that was done I pushed up on the strut and got it to site on top of the hole on the knuckle. I proceted to hit the sides of the knuckle and bottom to get it to slide slightly up so the strut went into the hole. Then I put a jack under the control arm and jacked it up. The strut still sat at the same position in the hole, so i hit it with a hammer and it slid in slowly. I just kept jacking the arm up more and more until it finally droped all the way to the spot where the bolt goes through.. Hope that helped somewhat. So be careful while working though!
