Rep Power: 0 Remember that the spring is under load so when you remove the strut from the car be careful no to drop it. The big thing you need is a spring compressor (clamp), by all means DO NOT remove the spring without one, or you might lose part of your face , you'll also need the spring compressor (clamp) for reinstalling the new ones.
