Replacing struts. Some problems
I decided to replace my struts today. The problem I ran into was I'm having a hard time getting the top bolt (of the 2), on the bottom portion of the strut. The bottom bolt seem to come out fine but seems like the top one only wants to come out 1/8 of the way... Anyone have any tips on getting this bolt out?

push on the strut (towards the engine) with one hand and pull the bolt out with the other
you could also tap it out with a hammer while pushing the strut inward

Rep Power: 399 Yeah, once the bottom one comes out, it wants to rock on the top one. Push in on the rotor and wiggle, or just whack it with a hammer.
