Thanks. First I figured I'd take out the strut insert, but the gland nut is tighter than I thought. I have the spring off. I tried laying the unit on the floor and applying two pipe wrenches, one on the nut and one at the thick part just below the spring seat. Sound like the right set up?? No dice even when I stand on the pipe wrench. I guess the wrenches aren't long enough. Any advice? I'm leery of heating it with the gas strut in there.
