I supported the A-arm and the jack pushed the strut up just high enough to let it pop out.
To get them back in I/we dropped the subframe. I should have done that in the first place...live and learn.
Sorry but that is simply retarded! If you pop out the lower ball joint and slide the caliper mount backwards the struts pop right out! Get a manual!

The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
