i own spring compressors and i didn't even think about it.
how is that a "normal step"?
i've never compressed a strut prior to taking it out of a car. i've done suspension on lots of cars too, focus, vw, audi, honda. just never on this one.
good idea though.
i loosened the top nut and got two honking pry bars in there and popped it out. the spindle is off now and having the bearing pressed in.
should i just take the strut out to get the spindle back onto it? it wasn't easy to get her off of there. several hard hammer blows...
thanks for the help!
