'85 245 strut replacement help?? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be wagonproject on  Sun Mar 14 05:57 CST 2004 [RELATED]

She's up on jacks back at the shop - the replacement shocks and b&g springs took about 2.5 hours to install in the rear, now I'm stuck on the struts. I've fabricated my own IPD-style strut nut tool out (identical in design for just $2.99!) but am having trouble getting the coil/strut assembly to clear the fender for removal/replacement. (I have access to an air-impact gun too)

Do I need to compress the front springs to clear the fender??

I'll be headed in to the shop soon, and need all the help i can get!
Thanks in advance

M.C.
