i had no problems doing my front struts. i compressed them as far as possible and they came right out, no problems. I dunno why everyone has such a hard time doing them. A brass hammer helps alot too!!! If the strut is stuck in the knuckle you can beat the sheeit out of it and not have to worry about destoying the knuckle with the brass. Oh and PATIENCE is the key once you lose it FORGET IT!!!! Anyone that lives by the BFH isn't a mechanic. Oh and if these cars where Hondas everything would be easy to work on and they wouldn't break all the time
